Porpax dickasonii 2024-04-18 (awarded as Conchidium dickasonii)

Posted on April 18, 2024

Finding
SITF has determined this plant to be Porpax dickasonii (July 2024). Kew POWO has Conchidium dickasonii as synonymous with Porpax dicksonii. This is correct based on the overlap at the apex of the midlobe, touching side lobes and the position of the petals. It matches the photos of Conchidium dickasonii on Andy's orchids website almost exactly. A description and illustration of Conchidium dickasonii can be found in an article by Paul Ormerod, "Orchidaceous Additions to the Floras of China and Myanmar" published in Taiwania 57: 117 (2012).
