Pleurothallis truncata is an iconic miniature orchid from the cloud forests of Ecuador and Peru. Its most distinctive feature is the truncated leaf tip — a rare trait that gives the species its name. Despite its small flowers, it captivates collectors with its unusual foliage and adaptability to cool–intermediate conditions.
