hallo,
Does anyone know what the difference is between an epidendrum
pseudoepidendrum and an epidendrum pseudidendrum?
I was trying to read my new book "Orquideas" by Takashi Kijima. (don't know
spanisch, and it's a spanisch translation. Still a great book, I just need a
good dictionary.)
Well in this book there are pics of both plants, thing is I bought a
epidendrum last year. Tag sais Epi. pseudoepidendrum but the flower looked
more like the second plant.
So if anyone can help me figure out which plant I have, it would be very
appreciated.

Peter

Seems to me that "pseudidendrum" is mislabeled. The species is prone to
that anyway, the correct name is pseuDEpidendrum .
Do the pictures in the book look similar? There is also an alba variety
of pseudepidendrum with a yellow lip.

In the book the pseudoepidendrum has a yellow lip and the rest of the flower
is very light (pinkish, wite, greenish) and the epi. pseudodidendrum is even
green with a dark orange almost red lip. I'll try to post a pic in alt
binaries...
