Hello and welcome to Orchidboard

I checked in Orchidwiz and found this:

Prosthechea fragrans is the accepted species for E. (Encyclia) fragrans

...and this:

Prosthechea fragrans is the accepted species for Epi (Epidendrum) fragrans

"They" keep changing things around...it's hard to know what's what

We'd love to hear more about you and your collection...and we have the perfect place to do that!

If you get the chance, tell us a bit about yourself and your chids...I'm sure our other members would like to give you a proper OB

and to the OB.
About your question as I understand it that these two 'chids are the same one.
