Default Rhynchostylis gigantea

Actually, it implies that I must have been drinking...

It's "vandaceous," which means that it is closely related to vandas,
ascocentrums and the like, capable of interbreeding with them.

This species occurs on the Indochinese peninsula as a medium sized,
monopodial, warm to hot growing, vandanaceous epiphyte


What does vandanaceous imply? If it doesn't imply it's a vanda, does
it imply it looks and grows a lot like a vanda?
