Three miniature from Thailand
Default Three miniature from Thailand

Hello all,
bought them at an exhibition in Thailand, forgot to writre down their names... Any hep?
No flowers at the moment...
1 had a little cluster of orange flowers, somehow bell-shaped.
2 had tiny yellow flowers.
3 looks more common, had also bell-shaped purple flowers in cluster.

THANKS!!

Maurizio

1 no idea
2 could be a Psygmorchis (Oncidium) pusilla
3 could be a Schoenorchis

Thanks RobS, after watching web pictures based on your suggestions, I'd say Schoenorchis is correct.

Nr. 2 has surely the same body of a Psygmorchis, but the flowers the plant had were way less beautiful than what I see in the Web. Are there other species of this genus?

Not sure about the webbed structures in nr. 1, I never removed it from the pot so far, but could WELL BE pseudobulbs...

then number 2 most likely is an Ornitocephalus.

No 1. Is probably a species in the genus Porpax. Its pseudobulbs underneath the webbed structure.

No 2. My first thought was Oberonia but the spikes does not match at all......

#2 is an Oberonia, an Asian species (both Psygmorchis and Ornithocephalus are New World plants).
#3 is a Schoenorchis, probably fragrans.

Thank you all!
1 & 3 are definitely identified: Porpax ustulata and Scoenorchis fragrans. All the pictures I found on the net match what I saw when they had flowers.
2 remains questionable: the leaves look absolutely like those of a Psygmorchis, but the flowers were about a few mm, much smaller than anything I see pictured on the web. And not as ostentatious. But Psygmorchis is an american genus. Oberonia, on the other hand, is asiatic, but it doesn't fully match (not only the spikes, but the structure: this one is totally FLAT, I believe Oberonia has more volume?).

Some of the Oberonias look just like this - here's one, probably not yours, but similar.
