Orchids seen at the Conservatory in ABG during my visit in October, 2018.

I think this a hybrid of Lycaste tricolor.

Thanks a lot ...

I found one Lycaste oculata on the Column.

Can you check and validate?

Never heard such name before. Cant find either.

Thanks ... Found this on the link.....

This name is not on the international database somehow.

Could the name be spelt as Lycaste occulta?

I found this link of Atlanta Botanical Garden with names against all the pictures.

Lycaste occulta, is indeed a name. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for validating.

So this is Lycaste occulta and not a hybrid of Lycaste tricolor.

Am I understanding correctly?

Yes not a hybrid.
