This Colombian species was initially described by Mejia & Rodrigo Escobar in 1972.
In 1994, Rudolf Jenny wrote in Caesiana that it this name was merely a synonym of Stanhopea stevensonii.
Jenny later said that the name Stanhopea stevensonii was invalid, that the plant is actually Stanhopea graveolens Lindley.
Grows cool to cold.
