Oh alright, thanks. Any idea for a species ID? I want to know the care needs. (Not that I'm going to buy it... maybe...)

Well both sellers of the plant are in the West Java, which is nowhere near Kalimantan and Papua. They might have just forgot the species name but remembered where they came from (Somehow..?)
As a side, I know some people that own land... for the purpose of taking the wild orchids that grow there... does that count as poaching? Those people seem to be "professional" orchid growers, too (I guess. They knew the difference between Habenaria radiata and Pecteilis radiata at least)...

Add: OR maybe for #2 those vendors bought those plants from other vendors which are actually poachers and are just selling it with whatever name the poacher-vendors gave to them.
