Attachments (2) Location : Sairep, Mizoram Date : 08-06-2016 Habit : Epiphytic orchid Habitat : Wild Please check Eria I would say this is Coelogyne prolifera. Thanks a lot for sharing. It may be Coelogyne schultesii S.K.Jain & S.Das. Please send me a close up photo of flower................. Attachments (1) It is undoubtedly Coelogyne longipes Lindl. Prolifera is highly variable and even Seidenfaden gave a collection of illustrations for this species. Undoubtedly confusing.....so I can understand so many views..... I guess Coelogyne longipes is the correct ID ! This plant had been very tricky since I saw it first. It has confused many. Seidenfaden treated Coelogyne flavida separately, but then it was merged with C. prolifera. Then few images of C. flavida of his were not flavida = prolifera but C. schultesii and even some of his images of prolifera were schultesii. Schultesii and longipes both were published in Journal of Indian Academy of Sciences, Bombay B. I could never get this journal for 1978. So I cant confirm. Now, if i follow the key in monograph of Coelogyne by Clayton, Schultesii and prolifera has ovoid or ellipsoid pseudobulbs; schultesii has 2 keels near base of the lip, elevated and prominent on the mid-lobe; flowers white to brown, side-lobes of lip with brown; lip midlobe orbicular or subquadrate. Prolifera has 2 keels terminating two thirds onto the mid-lobe; flowers yellow to yellowish-green; lip midlobe orbicular or subquadrate. Longipes has cylindric or narrowly ovoid pseudobulbs; 2 keels terminating at the mid-lobe, prominent on mid-lobe only; flower yellow; lip mid-lobe cordate, distinctly bi-lobed and mucronate tip. I will need a proper spreadup of labellum to confirm if possible. In my opinion, to solve this issue taxonomically, schultesii and prolifera should be merged. They are highly variable and all variations fit well under each other. I agree that longipes should stay the way it is. So I take it as Coelogyne LONGIPES. Am I right? good to keep it as prolifera.
