    Thanks

    Thanks, Bill.

    According to IOSPE, Lepanthes horrida means "the horrible Lepanthes". It doesn't make sense. Flower has no odor. If the majority of Lepanthes look like this one, I would have heavily invested in Lepanthes.

    Someone told me "horrida=bristled=prickly". I am not sure it refers to the hairs on the stem. Certainly no hairs on the flower. Any Latin expert here?
