Neofinetia falcata is a species name of wind orchids (Furkiran or Furan) ref. Neofinetia falcata -- samurai orchid

So, I think it is neo (unnamed).

Please correct it if I am wrong.

Hau,
The site does say "fenglan" however, some of the pictures on the bottom row are of Sedirea japonica (Aerides japonicum). So, I'm not sure that they are all pictures of Neofinetia.

Since you can read Chinese....

Fenglan is the chinese translation of Fuuran, which as you already know means "wind orchid"

Do you speak cantonese or mandarin?

Fuukiran is the japanese word for "rich & noble orchid".
Translated to cantonese it is:
Foo = rich
kway = noble
lan = orchid

All Fuukiran are Fuuran but not all Fuuran are Fuukiran. Only Fuuran that are appreciated for their unique traits are given Fuukiran status.

Hi LinhT,

Thanks for the information. I speak Cantonese. I have confused....
I guess Neofinetia falcata is the species name of Fuuran (probably wrong).
As I know Sedirea japonica that is a kind of Fuurans. We are called them "big leaves wind orchids" in Chinese. So what are the relationships between Neo and Fuukiran?
