If you can post a picture of the growth habit, it would aid in identification a little more... Thanks,

It looks a lot like my S. porschiana but then again it probably looks like several Stelis species!?

This is what my S. porschiana looks like up close:

Very cute. I saw these flowers somewhere but I don't remember its name. I'll try to find it.

It could be Stelis aemula Schltr., although the flowers are a bit more redish than I'm used to see for this species. The length of the inflorescense, probably much longer than the leaves also fits on S. aemula. Do you have any measures of the floral bracteas? If you have more photos also including the habitat, it would help.
