    Thank you for posting. I thought it was L. nycteris when I saw the picture. What is the big difference?

    Hi Tom. They are closely related but Lepanthes echinata can be distinguished by the deeply concave, orbicular dorsal sepal.

    Wow, love this. I have yet to learn how to grow Lepanthes here. However, I've found someone here who grows them almost exclusively! I can't wait to talk to her more!
