Pleuro ID needed

[ronaldhanko]

Received this as Barbosella cogniauxiana which it isn't, but what it is I'm not sure. Best I could do was Barb. gardneri, but would like confirmation.

After doing a lot of looking I am convinced that this is not Barb. gardneri, but Barb. australis. The lip is not right for gardneri and fits the description and pictures I've found of australis.

My first impression was australis. The fanged lip, and the way the flower seems to refuse to open. I didn't chime in because I've never seen gardneri. Beautiful photo, much better than mine.

Thanks, Fishballs. Where is your picture? I'd like to see it.

Earlier post in this forum. You can't make out the lip detail. You see the same curl in the dorsal sepal.
Barbosella australis

Thanks. No question in my mind now that they are the same. Mine may be a bit greener in color, but that may also just be the light.
