Four Colombian Orchids

[Pitter]

Here are four orchids from a walk in the woods in the Western Cordillera in Colombia. The last one is a Dracula species?

Wow, all unusual types.
1-?
2&3-Pleurothallis sp.(?)
4-Brachionidium sp.

Great pics.

Is #1 possibly a Campylocentrum? Can't think of anything else it might be.
Agree that #2 and 3 is probably a Pleurothallis.
Wonder if Brachionidium is correct for #4 - doesn't Brachionidium have joined lower sepals? This doesn't seem to have that. It's not a Dracula and doesn't appear to be a Lepanthes. Have to do a bit more research on that one.

Very nice! I want to walk around in Colombia like that some day. I never got to do that as a boy.

Well Cali is just a three and a half hour flight from Miami...come on down!

I'm thinking #4 is either a Lepanthes or a Teagueia.

Teagueia are very high elevation Lepanthes type orchids.

#3 looks like a Stelis sp.

No idea what the 1st one is.

I should have given the altitude. It is about 2000m.

I stand corrected, I was wrong about #4.

Teagueia don't have lepanthiform sheaths.

The petals are not reminiscent of Lepanthes.

That leaves Trichosalpinx or a large, single flowered Lepanthopsis.

If it's a vining miniature, then it could be Trichosalpinx chamaelepanthes (pink form).

Got a photo that shows more of the plant?
