Pinalia reticosa (Wight) Kuntze, Revis. Gen. Pl. 2: 679 (1891). (syn: Eria reticosa Wight, Icon. Pl. Ind. Orient. 5(1): 4, t. 1637 (1851).; Conchidium reticosum (Wight) Ormerod, Taiwania 57: 119 (2012).)
Uttarakhand, S. India as per WCSP;
Saw this white coloured orchid on a tree almost on a edge of a cliff. It was bit difficult to reach. I could manage few photographs with whatever Zoom i had.
Could this be “Conchidium braccatum“?? Kindly validate the ID.. Location: Matheran, Maharashtra Family: Orchidaceae Date/Time: 30th June,2018 / 4:00PM Very beautiful. There is some issue with taxonomy here. This should be Eria reticosa? Now known as Pinalia reticosa!
I need to recheck.
I have kept all our posts under Pinalia reticosa (Wight) Kuntze for the time being in view of the confusion.

Really very cute orchid Mayur
Now called Conchidum braccatum.. am i correct …?
I wish to see this too ..seen in fruiting condition
This should be Eria reticosa I think. Eria braccata is the old name of Conchidum braccatum. Eria reticosa is correct, I think. But Kew plant list says Eria reticosa is synonym of Chonchidium braccatum…. error?? Please check again 🙂
yes i have checked again .. its here http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-71483
Interesting. On Kew checklist they are shown as distinct species 🙂 I want to know which is correct please bcoz we have this orchid in our region Can you please share pics of both…

Thanks Dear … for showing us so many new and interesting plants from Chikamagalur, Karnataka.. Thanks … for wonderful pics !! there seems to be a mixing up of other leaves in 12..is it ? I think correct name/ identification is as per efi page: Conchidium reticosum Picture of bulbs are important. Please share if you have. Why not Eria reticosa just for curiosity! Thanks, …, Eria reticosa Wight a syn. of Conchidium reticosum
…, sorry. I do not have a photo of the bulbs. Normally I would have taken apart one plant to understand the structure but when I came across it, I was at the top of the mountain and the winds and rains were quite incredible.
Will click if I come across it again.

Conchidium braccatum (Lindl.) Brieger (= Eria reticosa Wight) is small beautiful epiphytic orchid from Kolli hills.
Thanks for sharing. Bulbs are more important of this species for identification. I am again sure you must have seen it already…. As per WCSP (kew) both (Conchidium braccatum (Lindl.) Brieger & Eria reticosa Wight) are different species, pl. see
Pl. let me know which one is this.

It is Conchidium reticosum as per discussions in the threads there.
Some say they are same some say they are different. Some say that one has reticulate network on the bulbs, other has no such network.
I need to check which one is which one, but for that i need a good pic of the bulbs.

Yes owing to the net like linings on the pseudobulbs of your plant, they do look like Pinalia reticosa.
There is another species, which doesn’t have this net like thing on the pseudobulbs.
