This New Guinea orchid has foliage unlike anything else I have seen - lovely big thin pale green leaves - it is just flowering with several racemes of small yellow / green star like flowers. Any ideas on the genus?

Thanks,
Phil

Hi Phil -
Least-expert guesses here - if the flowers and plant are large-ish, my guess would be Eria (javanica or similar) and if small, maybe a Liparis.
Many Erias have a sweet, strong perfume.
Cheers - Nancy

Liparis is my guess, and some Liparis can be large-ish too.
