I think this tiny epiphytic orchid observed in Amboli is Aerides dalzelliana
Size of the flower1.5 cm.There were a series of 3 inflorescences on a very small tree 1 feet above the ground.
At another place same orchid was observed at much higher height on different plant.

This should be Smithsonia viridiflora.
Aerides dalzelliana is a synonym. Base name is Micropera viridiflora.

I hope Smithsonia viridifolia and Aerides dalzelliana are synonyms.
