Pleurothallis ascera is a species of plant in the family Orchidaceae.
It is native to Colombia. It is found in the Andes around 1800 meters. [1]
It is an epiphyte with stout, erect ramicauls enveloped tubular sheaths, and flower size of 2.5 centimeters. [2]
It was named by Carlyle A. Luer and Rodrigo Escobar in: Orquideologia 20: 36. in 1996. [3]
Pleurothallis is a genus of orchids commonly called bonnet orchids. The genus name is derived from the Greek word pleurothallos, meaning "riblike branches". This refers to the rib-like stems of many species. The genus is often abbreviated as "Pths" in horticultural trade.
The Pleurothallidinae are a neotropical subtribe of plants of the orchid family (Orchidaceae) including 29 genera in more than 4000 species.
Dryadella is a genus of miniature orchids, formerly included in the genus Masdevallia. Plants are typically composed of a tuft of leaves from 3 to 6 cm long. The small (1–2 cm) flowers are often conspicuously spotted, and are borne at the base of the leaves. There are about 60 species, distributed from southern Mexico to southern Brazil and northern Argentina. In cultivation many of the species seem to respond well to being grown on cork or treefern rather than in pots. The attractive species Dryadella edwallii, commonly known as 'Partridge in the Grass' can be easily grown into a spectacular specimen plant, full of flowers. The genus name of Dryadella refers to Dryad, a tree nymph or tree spirit in Greek mythology.
Andreettaea is a genus of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to southern Mexico, the West Indies and tropical South America. The genus was established in 1978. Some sources treat the genus as a synonym of Pleurothallis.
Pabstiella is a small orchid genus belonging to the subfamily Epidendroideae. They occur in Central and Tropical America.
Specklinia is a genus of orchids native to South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. It contains approximately 100 species.
Acianthera is a genus of orchids native to the tropical parts of the Western Hemisphere, especially Brazil. It was first described in 1842 but was not widely recognized until recently. Most of the species were formerly placed under Pleurothallis subgenus Acianthera. This splitting is a result of recent DNA sequencing.
Trichosalpinx, commonly known as the bonnet orchid, is a genus of about 100 species of neotropical orchid. The genus is widespread across most of Latin America from northern Mexico to Bolivia, as well as the West Indies.
Pleurothallis anthrax is a species of orchid native to southern Colombia and Venezuela.
Ophidion is a genus of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to Panama to western South America and Venezuela. The genus was established by Carlyle A. Luer. It has been included in a broad circumscription of Phloeophila, but there is evidence that it forms a monophyletic taxon, and it is accepted by Plants of the World Online.
Pleurothallis adelphe is a species of orchid plant native to Ecuador.
Pleurothallis calamifolia is a species of orchid native to Colombia and Venezuela. It was named in 1996 and the holotype is from cloud forest in Colombia.
Muscarella tsubotae is a species of orchid plant native to Colombia.
Specklinia cactantha is a species of orchid native to Panama and Colombia. It was first formally named Pleurothallis cactantha in 1976 and transferred to the genus Specklinia in 2001.

Stelis elegans(Kunth) Pridgeon & M.W.Chase is a synonym of Stelis roseopunctata; Stelis elegansLuer & R.Vásquez is a separate species.
