Psychopsiella is a monotypic genus[1] in the orchid family found only in the state of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and near Caracas in Venezuela.

A pair of lacerate wings on the erect column is centered on the stigmatic cavity, and the anther cap almost completely protects the pollinia.

It is suspected that a mistake was made about the origin of the material near Caracas and that the true range of the species is limited to Brazil.

Later, Lücke and Braem transferred P. limminghei to its own genus based on its similar but smaller leaf and flower structure.

[2][3] As the former sectional name of P. limminghei implies, the species carries large glands on the lip callus and base of the column, which may be involved in oil secretion.

Repotting or dividing should be performed only near the beginning of the growth season when new roots are starting to develop, allowing the plant to become established in the shortest possible time with the least amount of stress.

Cultivated plants should be watered often while actively growing, but drainage should be excellent and conditions around the roots should never be stale or soggy.

As mentioned earlier, P. limminghei has a moderate rest period during the winter, with temperatures averaging highs of 21 °C (70 °F) and lows of 15 °C (59 °F).
