Catasetum xtapiriceps Jan Phal

[kavanaru]

hhhmmm.... Bruno, are you sure one of the parents is macrocarpum? the "hole" in the middle of the lip is too deep and squared for (IMO) it to be a macrocarpum child. It does not resemble at all a first primary xtapiriceps or Splendens (I am assuming primary for the record of simplification!)

Those "squared" deprerssions on the lips are more typical of the saccatum/osculatum group... it would be interesting to self it and see what the next generation brings up: maybe some plants closer to their parent?

however, a very nice Catasetum.... a pity it is a NOID!

Can you please place these photos in the Group Catasetinae in Flickr for discussion?
