Dracula cordobae is a species of orchid found in the montane cloud forest of south western Ecuador at elevations of 750 to 1000 meters.[1]
It is a medium-sized orchid, with an epiphyte habit and with very short ramicaules basally wrapped by 2 to 3 acuminate tubular sheaths and bearing a single, apical, narrowly obovate leaf that is conduplicated below the petiole. It blooms in a lateral inflorescence, from the base of the ramicaule, with successively a single flower that heads below the plant.
