Are you sure?
Very nice pak. Are you sure it's Spath. plicata though? I have only ever seen pale pink to purple plicatas myself but I have heard of white ones?

Sathoglottis plicata?
Hi pak sheikh I think Wellsy is right your plant is not Spathoglottis plicata. ambiom posted a photo 21-3-08 of the normal form.
You posted the alba form on the 6-9-08. I'm going out now but will post some photos that your plant could be. Pawpaw
Both plants the same
Hi pak sheik are the two photos you posted the same plant? I know they can vary. Pawpaw
plicata's
Hi Guys, thanks for the comment......Hornestly speaking to u guys that i'm not the expert on orchid sp. I actually referring to IOSPE PHOTOS on Jay Pfahl web site. And after comparing it with the one which i've posted i can confirm that it is plicata.......well there are varities of colour of plicata actually.
And for ur info pawpaw it is actually 2(two) different plant.Anyway as u aware of it is always open for discussion if u guys thought that these plant are not plicata....
Thanks again guys.

Spathoglottis
I believe that the image shown is Spathoglottis kimballiana, from Borneo and the Philippines. This species is closely related to S.gracilis.
bernabu
I agree
I agree with bernabu that the yellow Spathoglottis is Spa. kimballiana.
As far as I know Spa. plicata does not come in a yellow color form and only comes in white and pink through to purple. The other flower with a bit of color I think is a hybrid but it would be very hard to put a correct name to it as the hybrids can vary a lot. I will post a photo of one that looks a bit like yours. Pawpaw
Take a look
Hi guys try to take a look at this http://orchidspecies.com/spathplicata.htm
I'm confuse actually.......

Spathoglottis
The second image of your original post shows the triangular lobe at the tip of the lip which is usual for this species. Looking at the images in the link you give, the two white ones also have triangular lobes at the apex of the lip.

Wellsy
Steve, I think these two photos should be separated, they are totally different plants.
Pak, IOSPE is not a Botanical Reference, it's only a guide and there are quite a number of errors in identification of plants.
Bill
as long as pak agrees
I agree that it looks like two different species/hybrids...as long as pak agrees lets go for two entries I reckon.
Regards wellsy
Go ahead
Hi Guys......go ahead if u guys feel that its better tobe separated....no problem for me.I would agree on that,just tell me what to do....do i have to post a new one or just leave to u guys to proceed with the editing....
And to u Bill n Benard....thanks for the info..

Wellsy
Pak is happy to separate this entry.
Once Wellsy moves one photo to another page we can edit comments, Pak, you don't have to do anything.
EDIT: he who grows queer things has completed that!
Bill
Well done P W!!!!
Well done PHOTO WIZARD, I think the photo you moved is the one that has a positive ID by Bernard and Pawpaw as Spathoglottis kimballiana and should be edited to that name???
Bill
Spa. plicata
Ok guys, we only have this photo to ID, I'm as confused as Pak now.
Has anyone got any new ideas????
Bill
Spathoglottis
Hi guys, i was looking at your comments and the photo posted. I thought that this is possibly a hybrid. Sp rarely have this 2 tone colour. FYI, there are numerous hybrids produced in M'sia and quite often not registered. I would be careful in naming this plant.
Regards,
Daniel.
Thanks Daniel
Your thinking on the same lines as us Daniel, we haven't named it yet, the heading Spa. plicata is only the original submission by Pak.
Bill
Spathoglottis plicata
From the comments above I gather this one is not Spa. plicata.
Pak, at this stage I think we should change the heading to Spathoglottis hybrid unknown.
