Growing on the bark to the left of the Phal appendiculata is a very small
monopodial orchid. Does anybody know what it is. The purple flower on the Phal appendiculata is about the size of a #2 pencil eraser which should give you some idea of how small a plant I am talking about. If you have any ID ideas please speak up. :-) Thanks. Al |

Tiny Dancer, LOL! Hope someone has an answer. I'd love to hear it.

They are both cute Al, now if someone is good with words then there
must be something that means smaller than small? Mini-mono-miniscule? *G* I wonder if it was from seed? Anyway good show. Cheers Wendy "Al Pickrel" wrote in message news:xv5Xi.862$sN.853@trndny02...

The flower looks very much like chibae in terms of color and markings.
However, chibae is a larger plant than appendiculata; 6 to 10 inch leaf span....and the leaves are different. The flower is a little larger too. And the spikes, (at least on mine) are very long. This plant is very odd. It has 8 or 10 pair of leaves and has been maturing for about 6 years. It looks like a tiny pulcherima in terms of growth habit. It has 4 spikes and will have like 50 flowers and yet the whole plant in flower is about the size of US quarter. The flower has a sack-like spur on the back of the lip when viewed from behind, so I don't think it is in the Phal genus. In fact, I know it is not. I would recognize any previously described Phal. When I got the appendiculata, it was freshly imported and resold to me. This plant was attached to the side and had two tiny leaves (less than 1/4 inch leaf span) and I thought it was a basil keikie on the appendiculata. So this thing hitched a ride into the county without going officially through customs.... It is an illegal alien BUT I am sure it can't be new to science. It has to have been described. I have pulled rare albino forms of speices out of wholesale boxes and found some very neat mislabeled species in similar orders but I just can't believe it has never been seen before... I was hoping that Eric H would see these pictures and recognize it. He has been very helpful before with ID. Anybody know Eric Christenson's email address? "K Barrett" wrote in message . .. Chibae?

Well, if it had turned out to be a basil keiki, at least your wench would have been able to use it in the spaghetti sauce........

basil has different leaves too. So it's not that either. Basal/Basil, got
it. (Unlike the wench/winch debacle I actually do no their are different spellings at work here. It just slipped past. ;-). My favorite mistake of this nature was the agar/auger slip, which preceded the wench/winch slip by months. Although few seem to remember that one it was definitely and augur of many colorful word slips to follow.)

I hadn't realized there were more pics once you scrolled down, (blush).
Sometimes I'm such a dolt. I'll bet Eric Hunt would know this one, he's at eric at erichunt dot com.

Al,
Sorry, I've been lax at checking ABPO. It's definitely something in the lesser Sarcanthinae - my best guess is a Cleisostoma species. I'm forwarding the images to Eric Christenson. Will let you know what he says. -Eric in SF www.orchidphotos.org "Al Pickrel" wrote in message news:xv5Xi.862$sN.853@trndny02...
