Calanthe

Finding

SITF has determined that this plant is not Calanthe arisanensis (Apr 2026). In Calanthe arisanensis the entire inflorescence, rachis, bracts and flowers, would have to be densely villous (dense tiny hair-like projections) and there is no evidence of this in the photographs. The correct identification is unknown at this time, but SITF will continue to search for the correct identification and revise this statement once found.
