Ascolabium pumilum verses Ascocentrum pumilum
You know who'd know would be Andy Phillips at Andy's Orchids. Harry
responds to questions. Failing that Jim Hamilton at Petite Plaisance
would also know. (He's on the web too)

Do these names refer the same plants? I have been growing a plant of
Ascocentrum pumilum for several years. It is very small and the leaves are
needle-like and resemble pine needles. I just received some Ascolabium
pumilum pieces and these have leaves that look more like Ascocentrum
miniatum leaves. I had concluded before buying the Ascolabium that these
two names were synonyms but now I am confused again.
