Lepanthopsis (leh-pan-THOP-siss) contains around 38 species mostly from the Andes and Caribbean.  The name refers to its similarity to Lepanthes as the stems are also ringed by sheaths.  Many members of this genus have many small flowers that will bloom simultaneously on the inflorescence while others will at least have several flowers open at the same time.
