Name: Lepanthes ophioglossa Luer
Synonyme: Lepanthes drymocharis Luer & Hirtz
Etymologie: ophioglossa = natternzüngig (Schlangenzunge) — bezieht sich auf das charakteristisch tief gespaltene bzw. gegabelte Ende der zweilippigen Blütenstruktur (synsepalum).
Vermehrung: Samen; in Kultur gelegentlich durch das sehr vorsichtige Teilen etablierter, vieltriebiger Pflanzenhorste.
Erstbeschreibung: 1983 durch den US-amerikanischen Botaniker Carlyle A. Luer in Phytologia (54(5): 358).
Herkunft / Verbreitung: Ecuador und Kolumbien.
Standort / Habitat:
Epiphytisch wachsend in feuchten montanen Bergnebelwäldern der Anden in Höhenlagen von ca. 1.500 bis 2.300 Metern. Sie besiedelt dort schattige, permanent luftfeuchte Bereiche auf moosbedeckter Rinde an Baumstämmen und Ästen im kühl-temperierten bis kühlen Mikroklima.
Beschreibung & Anmerkungen:
Lepanthes ophioglossa ist eine filigrane Miniatur-Orchidee mit aufrechten, schlanken Trieben (ramicauls), die von 4 bis 6 fein bewimperten, lepanthiformen Scheiden umhüllt sind. Jedes Triebende trägt ein einzelnes, aufrechtes, ledriges Blatt von elliptischer Form. Der feine, locker im Zickzack verlaufende (flexuose) Blütenstand überragt das kleine Blatt meist deutlich und bringt nacheinander markante Blüten hervor. Die Blüte besitzt ein breites, minimal konkaves oberes Kelchblatt (dorsales Sepalum), das in einem dünnen, zurückgebogenen Schwänzchen endet, während die seitlichen Kelchblätter zu einer länglichen, gegabelten Struktur verwachsen sind – was ihr das namensgebende, schlangenzungenartige Aussehen verleiht.

In der Kultur benötigt diese Hochland-Art konstant kühle Bedingungen mit einer spürbaren Nachtabsenkung; stehende Sommerhitze wird schlecht vertragen. Da sie über keine Pseudobulben verfügt, darf das Wurzelwerk niemals vollständig austrocknen. Die Art lässt sich hervorragend in gut belüfteten, kühleren Orchideen-Vitrinen und Terrarien pflegen. Sie gedeiht am besten aufgebunden auf Kork mit einer permanent feuchten Unterlage aus feinem Sphagnum-Moos bei einer konstant hohen Luftfeuchtigkeit von über 80 % und einer kontinuierlichen, sanften Luftzirkulation.

Heavy marble base and solid rod holder.
Color: White-aa, Color: White-aa
After researching the many different marble base towel holders, which is what I wanted to match my marble decor, I finally settled on this which arrived today, packed very nicely in a Styrofoam tight box to protect the marble and came with it as you can see a gift of some very soft Microfiber dish cloths, which work very well at removing smudge marks on kitchen appliances. It took me 30 seconds to join the base to the rod. It came with a little tool to tighten the base however it really wasn’t necessary. I then covered the hole under the base with a piece of One-sided circular sticky, felt, which covered the hole very nicely. I have tried it, and it does do as it says, and the marble base is heavy enough where it holds the roll of paper towels so that with a couple of tugs, I can get one of the perforated sections out. Does take more than one tug as some people showed but two tugs or three light ones really doesn’t matter it gets the job done and in a far lower price than any of the others, in fact, some of the recommended others were 2 1/2 times more expensive and the reviews were not good at all. It pays to take the time to go through people’s reviews like mine and that’s why I believe in completing the reviews whenever I can time permitting. I’m giving this a five star and I think that you will too. I was lucky based on some of the other marble bases that were shown for this product that I got a significant amount of gray marbling matter because some of them had very little it’s just the way the marble runs and you take your chance, but I was lucky.

Base a bit light
Color: Gold-b
Attractive, functional but would benefit from a weightier base

Nice touch!
Color: Gold-b, Color: Gold-b
Handles large paper towel rolls. The gold color on the top which is mainly what you see when you have paper towels on it, coordinates nicely with the various shades of gold in my kitchen. The 4" pulls brushed gold, the Delta pull down facet as well as the Euro (Lamps plus) aged brass mini pendant. I find it easy to tear off paper towels even without the small tear bar found on different holders. Was a few $ more but it matches perfectly. Well worth it.
