Trichopilia suavis
Trichopilia suavis is a species of orchid found from Central America to Colombia. It was first collected in Costa Rica in tropical forested habitat from 2,000 to 6,000m in elevation. In 2004, it was considered a common species within the A. M. Brenes biological preserve in Costa Rica, and formed large colonies on the trunks of trees.
