Dear friends,
Kindly resolve the nomenclature of this orchid.
1.The Digital Flora of Karnataka lists this as Ephemerantha macraei and also gives an alternate name Flickingeria fimbriata quoting the Plant List.
Ref:http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ac.in/hjcb2/herbsheet.php?id=3121&cat=1
2.The Plant List says that Flickingeria fimbriata is a synonym of Dendrobium plicatile
Ref:http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-84517
3.The Plant List again says that Ephemerantha macraei is a synonym of Dendrobium macraei
http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-84517

Thanks Khyanjeet Gogoi ji for the clarification.

In that case the identity of the specimen uploaded should be Dendrobium macraei...!
Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please.
Some earlier relevant feedback:
I think both (Ephemerantha macraei and Flickingeria fimbriata) are different as per WCSP (underlying records): http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/synonomy.do?name_id=58304 |
Ephemerantha macraei is now Dendrobium macraei Lindl................ |
In that case the identity of the specimen uploaded should be Dendrobium macraei...!- from TSP Kumar ji. |
