Kaas Week : Oberonia recurva

[Rajesh Sachdev]

Since 15th -30th September, I observed this orchid in non-flowering
stage. There were many trees where this orchid was observed. But none
among them in flowering.

Not sure about the id but thanks for sharing. May be Sweedle will throw some light on this :)

Beautiful.

The flowers are not in bloom here. Plants with greenish flowers would be O. falconeri and with brick red flowers would be O. recurva. We have to go with both possibilities here. Regards, 

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

Actually I have seen yellow red flowers in falconeri too.

Colour is just a superficial ID. If flowers could be seen in close ups then

midlobe of lip equal to side lobes is O. recurva

midlobe of lip 4-5 times larger than side lobes is O. falconeri

Both sp.can be found at Kas. I request members to dig out their close ups for both sp. Regards,

[Khyanjeet Gogoi]

Yes you are right sir, colour is depends on sunlight also.......

Rajesh ji,

             No guesses in this case..... Lip of Oberonia is the one of the deciding factors... Difficult genus to even comment on.....

There is a problem. I dont agree with the key given by respected Shrikant sir.
The scape is flattened or two winged laterally in Oberonia recurva and
it is cylindrica in Oberonia falconeri..
Midlobe is bigger in both, but longer and narrower in falconeri and
broader in recurva. In both midlobe is bilobular. Ofcourse whole plant
of recurva is much smaller than falconeri but u can easily get
confused with smaller plants of falconeri.

agreeing with Sweedle, Lip is the deciding factor in genus Oberonia. Me too have observed too many variations in their colour and size. I could collect both greenish and brownish forms of Oberonia chandrasekharanii, O. mucronata from Wayanad. 

[Khyanjeet Gogoi]

Yes, flower is essential for identification of the genus Oberonia....
many colour variations are found in Oberonia....
