NoId Vanda in our Collection

[paleofreak]

I was doing some work in the teaching greenhouse and I came across this Vanda, with no tag. I know that I won't be able to get a definite ID but your ideas may help me find out what it really is, if it is in our collection database.

Thanks for your help.

Wow! It's fabulous, whatever it's name may be

It appears to be an Aranda (Arachnis x Vanda) or Mokara (Arachnis x Ascocentrum x Vanda) hybrid. Unless you have a very extensive Vandaceous collection that probably narrows down your database search quite a bit.

With the fairly recent reclassification of Ascocentrum as Vanda, any Mokara would be Aranda now. But unless it is a very recent purchase your database would most likely still list Mokara.
