A handsome medium sized species that grows on a long stem in the manner of some forms of straminea, latifolia and others. In fact, when not in bloom, this species could easily be mistaken for the Mexican species albida. The stem is stiff and erect, to almost 12 inches, bearing 3 inch white leaves at right angles to the stem. The inflorescence sets it apart; a scape to about 6 inches tall with pale green to whitish bracts and starkly pure white flowers. Discovered in 1969 by Braga and Sucre growing on the huge rock monolith called Pedra Paraibuna near the border of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais where this species grows in a massive colony. So taken were they with the large white flowers that they named the plant nuptialis because it reminded them of the white of a wedding gown. Grows easily in bright, airy conditions.
