Neocogniauxia monophylla
Well, its official:Neocogniauxia now is firmly in the Pleurothallid alliance.
With that in mind,I pesent my plant with 4 flowers this year.(every year 1 more)
Its not an easy plant,but I seem to do well with it.
I find that it has very short roots,hardly pennetrating the moos pad to the cork,and can endure higher summer temperatures than the Andean Pleurothallids.
I once had the other sp. ,N.hexaptera, and am again looking for it.
Enjoy!

Unbelievable, looks like a little catt or something like that. Very kool. Must be a missing link between pleuros and the other orchids. haha. Thanks for sharing and giving us the info!

It was considered a Catt. relative for a long time,but to date no hybrids with any Epidendroids.
It even appears in the series:Cattleyas and their relatives.!
Goes to show that evolutionarily, there are no genuses or families only individuals! |

Well... technically, evolution is all about populations. But yes, the whole hierarchy of classification from species on up is a system we try to impose on the real world. The real world is not obligated to submit.
I wonder if those who rage against the molecular evidence on Laelia vs. Cattleya will be as quick to dismiss this. |
