Cottonia peduncularis<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Sorry not Cottonia<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Thank you very much for the ID suggestion of my Orchid, it’s flower is smaller than C. peduncularis<\/em>, but very close.\u00a0 My ID #77 is of C. peduncularis<\/em> identified by you.<\/p>\n

\n

Cottonia peduncularis<\/em> has very long peduncles inflorescence axis about \u00a060 to 70 cm & then Cottonia<\/em> has only one species so my identification was wrong I have hurried without watching pictures properly<\/p>\n

\n
It is always advisable to please take some time to take pictures, from multiple angles and good closeups.<\/div>\n
Otherwise you wont be able to get your plants identified.
\nI think this is <\/span>Diplocentrum congestum<\/em>, but not easy to make out.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n

Yes, it is, thank you very much for ID my Orchid. Only one individual was growing there too height so that it doesn’t easy to capture in more angles, and raining also, so I spent more time than as usual. Not only this, all flowers are attacked by caterpillar.<\/p>\n
