Aerides thibautiana

unknown orchid

This one has a look of Cleisocentron a genus from Sabah, Borneo. It's a pity we can't see the leaves which in this genus are terete. Cleisocentron merrillianum has a 4" inflorescence with similar shaped flowers and colour. Bernard

so are you saying

so are you saying this one is Cleisocentron merrillianum Bernard?

If yes...for now well label it as that and see who claims the photo.

Not so fast

I remember this one from the old site, from memory it was listed as Ascocentrum and we moved it from there.

At the moment I can't get through to the Monocot List, seems to be down.Just need some more time on this one.

If Bernard comes back with a definite ID. I'll stop looking.

no rush

Cleisocentron

At the moment I would only suggest that it could be Cleisocentrum, without any further info (scale size or leaves)I would hesitate to confirm it. I did, have one of these plants and I recognised the similarity with the flowers in the image, mainly because of the shape colour and space between the flowers, however mine was more blue.
