Is this Phaius Indochinensis? I bought a plant at the market the other day. Sorry, the flower in the pic has lost the lip. I was told it was bought in Vietnam and is a native there.

Hi!

I dunno myself but did a search and it does look alike for as far as you can tell without the lip. Do you remember what the lip looks like? If you do, see if it looks the same as the one here :

A friend in Malaysia emailed to say he thinks it is Indochinensis. I dont recall the lip all that well I think it was similar, though a lighter shade. I will take photographs of the plant I have when it blooms and post them. I think the buds on my plant should open in a weeks time.
