Posted on March 15, 2025
Finding
SITF has determined this plant to be Prosthechea bohnkiana, not P. tigrina (Jul 2025). The type drawing showing the lip of P. bohnkiana is a better match to the form of the lip on this plant. The number of flowers (18) per inflorescence is very close to the description of 17 for P. bohnkiana. Flower size is very close as well. Overall, the type drawing of the plant and leaves of P. bohnkiana are a close match to this plant. The IOSPE has the type drawing by Castro and a good supporting photo by Baptista.
