Seidenfadenia mitrata (Rchb.f.) Garay, Bot. Mus. Leafl. 23: 204 (1972). Synonym: Aerides mitrata Rchb.f., Bot. Zeitung (Berlin) 22: 415 (1864).
Family: Orchidaceae Distribution: Myanmar to Thailand Current pic taken in the live collections from Thailand. Very strangely, the species name "mitrata" sounds very HINDI but actually it means 'turbaned'. I imagine why!!!
