Mislabelled Epidendrum stamfordianum

[Paola]

Hi everyone,
please I need your help. About 4 years ago I bought this Epi labelled as stamfordianum, but obviously It is not. It blooms from the leaves and the colours are pale. It must be an hybrid, but I cannot identify It. May you help me? I apologise for the poor quality of the pics.

Perhaps it's Epi. Lime drop? Ita half Samfordianum and half Epi. paniculatum.

paniculatum appears to bloom from the leaf nodes.

Take this with a grain of salt. It's just internet research and no personal experience.

I would say that's a very good guess Louis and it's most definitely not stamfordianum.

I've seen an alba E. stamfordianum that sort of looked like that, flower-wise. But the apical flower is a solid indicator that it's not E. stamfordianum. I agree looks like some sort of hybrid with it though.

Hi Louis! I think you put me on the right track. Have a look at this link Epi. Lime Drop x Epi schumburki_8566
I think It could be a second cross between Epi Lime DropxEpi shumannianum. The labellum is more like mine than in the "pure" Lime drop in which It is more rounded. Thank you so much!

Thanks everyone, you have contributed to work my doubt out!! . It is a cross between E. Lime Drop x E. shumannianum!
