I'm not going to be home until tomorrow, but if I had to guesstimate, I'd say that the height (excluding spikes) is around 4.5 to 5 inches, and the longest leaf is probably something similar. I think they can get larger than that, but not by much. To give you a visual reference, the cache pot I used for the photos is a 5 in diameter pot. They like to keiki, and if grown mounted the plant can form a dense mat, in a similar way to Phal pulchra.

I had never heard of the species either until I bought it! It seems rare in cultivation, but it's not a difficult species at all. It was a leftover at the end of a show in the area where society members sell their own plants. It was a bit scraggly looking and very yellow (which I later found out was a nutrient deficiency) but I loved the single faded bloom it had. I got it for 4 or 5€ and nursed it back to health. I've had it 5-6 years now, I think.
