  1. I have not had a confirmation from Sebastian but believe that these 2 orchids are Epidendrum elleanthoides Posted 5 years ago
    1. I'm no expert, but visually, that looks like a promising candidate. Let's ID it as such tentatively. Posted 5 years ago
      1. Nor I - I did suggest this to Sebastian (I think he's quite busy & I sent him 10 or so with suggestions) but it is very distinctive in the look & habit, It's in the right locality and the leaf is exact with colour and look - I'd be 99.99% on this. Cheers Posted 5 years ago
