How nice you heard back from Erich Michael! The photo in Stewarts book shows a flower thats' almost identical to the one you originally posted as Angraecum sedifolium (now that we know what to look for - but really these all look the same to me, *G*...). The description for arborescences includes the 1/4" (or 7mm) bend at the back of the lip/spur area. I'm just happy that I got it in the right group, LOL!!

Hi Erich,
Thank you ever so much. I really appreciate your time & this info.
Below are two pics, the left being Jumellea arborescens, my lost tag plant that very
clearly has different looking leaves,the heart shape tips.
Also not sure if this is pertinant but the spur has a
horizontal 1/4" bend at the back of the flower.
Cheers Wendy

Hi again Kathy,
I have a Jumellea comorensis & the plant is visibly different. The
flower is close but also not exact.
I now have a list of all the Jumellea's so researching that way.
The said plant was from a collection from Stellenbosch in S.Africa & of
course they went out of business,
so it may be a rare one.
Appreciate your help. Forward on the research.
Cheers Wendy



Ok then, make sure you tell Hoosiers that its from Stellenbosch in S
Africa. It could very well be rare. Like I say I'm not that great at
taxonomy.
