Description of H. obscura

In its native habitat H. obscura is a tangle forming epiphyte. There are said to be many clones of this plant. The leaves may vary in size and somewhat in shape on the same plant, and may vary between the different clones, however all are very easily recognized as H. obscura. When grown in bright light the leaves will take on beautiful reddish tones,
The visibly veined leaves are smooth as are the pedicels and peduncles of the inflorescence.
