As to other names I found "close but no cigar match ups" that may suggest a review of your labels: To wit: 1- Thrixspermum amplexiatum I found a reference for Thrixspermum amplexicaule (Blume) Rchb.f., Xenia Orchid. 2: 121 (1868). 2- Dendrochilum compactum I found this: Dendrochilum complectens J.J.Sm., Bull. Jard. Bot. Buitenzorg, III, 5: 32 (1922). 3- Dendrochilum aureum I found : Dendrochilum aurantiacum Blume, Bijdr.: 398 (1825). 4- Bulbophyllum longifolium I found: Bulbophyllum longiflorum Thouars, Hist. Orchid.: t. 98 (1822) The source for my information is the Monocot Checlist found at http://www rbgkew.org.uk/monocotChecklist/qsearch.do ( really nice place with new search capabilities) _______ Viateur : Have you checked the entries for Cattleya candida?
