Finding
This plant was identified with the help of the taxonomist, Alexander Hirtz, taxonomist of record who along with Carl Luer described the species Anathallis sanchezii. This plant matches the description of the column which is winged above the middle, denticulate at the apex with the anther, rostellum and stigma hooded and ventral. The leaves show some maroon coloration underneath. Matches photos of A. sanchezii in orchidroots.com, the IOSPE and OW. The species appears to be somewhat variable in color.
