Stenoglottis is a small genus of small-flowered species. Stenoglottis longifolia has the most interesting flowers. A specimen plant may bear dozens, if not hundreds, of flowers on multiple stems. These flowers are about 20 mm (0.7 inches) in spread. photo
Other Stenoglottis species include Sngl woodii and Sngl fimbriata. The latter has beautiful dark spotting on the leaves. This spotting carries through to attractive hybrids such as Sngl Venus. The cross between Sngl longifolia and Sngl woodii is Sngl Longwood, an attractive and vigorous hybrid. photo
Stenoglottis are quite easy to grow and make nice house plants. Here is some cultural info that may be useful.
