This orchid species is from Costa Rica and, like all the Zootrophions, only opens a small window in the side of the flower for the pollinating insect.
This particular species is name for the "vulture-headed" appearance of the flowers. The plant is about 15 cm tall and the flowers about 3 cm in size.
