Telipogon-astroglossus-Fiona-CHM/AOS-2023-07-27 *SITF confirms this plant is Telipogon astroglossus (Aug 2023).

This plant matches the photo in the IOSPE and the description in Dodson's "Native Ecuadorian Orchids". Also closely matches 18 photos in the orchidroots.com. The description of this plant indicates measurements of the pseudobulb; however, Dodson describes the species as pseudobulbless; this could due to mistaking the conduplicate leaf bases for a cane or pseudobulb. No pseudobulbs appear visible in the photos. Flowers are somewhat large at .96 cm compared to the description in the IOSPE of .65 cm.
