More Mexican species...
Here we go with another couple... I think the first is a Rhynchostele rossii, but the second I have no idea -- maybe some kind of Encyclia? Anyway, here are the photos -- sorry about the quality of the latter photos, my phone with teh good-quality camera got stolen a few weeks ago...

For the second species, given the fact that it has more of a reed-like stem rather than pseudobulbs, and a lip that is fused to form a tunnel with the column, I think it's a true Epidendrum. Anything more than that would be hard to guess because there is over 900 soecies in the genus.

Rhynchostele rossii - yes
Not Encyclia, probably Epidendrum - yes. Something about the plant form is echoing in my brain. I'll do some looking.

It does have pseudobulbs -- they're just a bit buried, it's been badly potted. Rectifying that today. |

Compare to Prosthechea varicosa.

Cool, I know very little, but the last middle and last one reminded me of Cischweinfia.

A "short" list of synonyms for Prosthechea Varicosa - I'm surprised the poor thing hasn't been diagnosed with multiple personality disorder...
Synonyms Encyclia chiriquensis (Rchb. f.) Schltr. 1918; Encyclia phymatoglossa (Rchb. f.) Schltr. 1918; Encyclia varicosa (Bateman ex Lindl.) Schltr. 1918; Encyclia varicosa subs lieobulbon [Hkr.] Dressler & Pollard 1971; Encyclia varicosa var. leiobolbon (Hook.) M.Wolff & O.Gruss 2007; Epidendrum chiriquense Rchb. f. 1852; Epidendrum leiobulbon Hook. f. 1841; Epidendrum lunaeanum A. Rich. ex Lindl. 1853; Epidendrum phymatoglossum Rchb. f. 1852; Epidendrum quadratum Klotzsch 1850; Epidendrum ramirezzi Gojon Sanchez 1930; *Epidendrum varicosum Bateman ex Lindl. 1838; Prosthechea varicosa (Bateman ex Lindl.)

Seems I wasn't far off with "Encyclia" after all ...
