Lepanthes matamorosii x corrugata
Cool-growing hybrid combining Costa Rican L. matamorosii with Andean L. corrugata, both from wet cloud-forest habitats above about 1500 m. The cross typically yields tiny plants with corrugated leaves and brick-red to orange flowers. Culture is demanding: cool temperatures, very high humidity, deep shade and fine, constantly moist substrate or mounts with excellent air movement.
