Needing help identifying this orchid... Male
Default Needing help identifying this orchid...

Good day to you all....

Could anyone be of assistance with identifying this orchid..

I was given a small division of this specific plant, accompanied with a name tag....... unfortunately, trying to get any information on this specific plant has come up with nothing......

the name tag with the plant states

CHANTOCEPHALA LONGIFOLIA

your assistance in helping me correctly name this plant would be greatly appreciated...

Please find that i attached a picture of the plant growth and aswell the flower...

the plant structure from root to tip is roughly 30cm long and has short little purple hairs at the base ( this colours your hands if touched).... the flower itself only lasted a few days and dropped.

happy growing
Nivenj.

Doesn't look very familiar :/ or similar to anything I know of. I suggest gowing to Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia and looking up the name there

It is Chaetocephala punctata or Myoxanthus punctatus or Pleurothallis chaetocephala (all synonyms).

Here's a link, and I should have added that Myoxanthus punctatus is the most current name and Chaetocephala punctata the oldest and most out of date.
