Last year I innocently bought a plant from J & L labeled Stelis allenii. Looking it up established that it was named by Williams in 1942 and comes from Panama.
According to OrchidWiz, the correct name is Stel. maxima. Looking it up in IPNI shows that a recent name of Stelis maxima is illegitimate, because Lindley had a Stelis maxima from Peru. So what have I got & what is the correct name? It hasn't bloomed yet.
