An interesting and rare plant from the exposed granite cliffs at the entrance to Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Resembling the much more familiar Vr. saundersii, it is smaller, about 6 inches across, with deeply recurving, broad, leathery leaves that are heavily speckled with red below and sparingly above. The inflorescence is a panicle of dense yellow branches on a 12 inch scape.
