Pleurothallis palliolata it's kind of hard to say, it's got two older bloomed out leaves which are 2" long on 3" long wiry stems and then there are about a dozen newer leaves which are only about 1 - 1 1/2" leaves on 1" wiry stems. So it's either 2.5 inches or 5 inches. I don't know if they start out short and get long as they prepare to bloom or if the blooming leaves are a different size or the two old long leaves are from when it was living in a low light environment? There is one Lepanthes who makes blooming and non blooming leaves but I don't know if any others do though so I'll have to see what sort of growth happens with it.

Pleurothallis prolifera has 3" leaves on a 2" stem. Apparently it's a slow mover, there are 3 leaves on it and the tag date says "2000" - I hope there have been some divisions taken in that time! LOL
