Coelogyne ID

[W Stender]

Hello All,

This was given to me by an oldtime orchid grower that said it was an old fashioned variety. Probably species but I do not know, any ideas?

I think it maybe Coelogyne pandurata. Very cool

Excellent call! And the quickest reply I have ever recieved. I have updated my database already and the culture notes will help with future growth, thanks!

hm somehow my reply got lost

There are some other Coelogynes that are pretty similar to pandurata

One of them is Coelogyne maryeriana from the different pcitures it seems to have less flowers then pandurata which I noticed on your plant as well.

edit: Now I see W Stender posted the same question in 2 sections.

I also think it's mayeriana. Pandurata is much larger.

If the old time grower says this one is 'an old fashioned variety' it is probably Coel. Bufordiense or its offspring, 'South Carolina.'
