Psygmorchis pumilio [also known as Erycina pumilio] is a miniature fan-shaped plant with inflorescence producing a series of single flowers that last for about 3 weeks. This was photographed growing on a guava tree at around 1,360 m altitude in a cloud forest habitat. The habitat is always humid and frequently wet, often experiencing afternoon rain.
