Gongora-grossa-2022-04-27 *SITF has determined that this plant is Gongora pardina, not Gongora grossa (Sep 2023).
Posted on April 27, 2022
Finding
This plant was identified as Gongora pardina by Dr. Gunter Gerlach, an authority on this genus. He stated it was not G. grossa/nigropunctata and identified it as Gongora pardina. G. pardina is from Ecuador and the exhibitor in his comments stated the plant came from Ecuagenera, although there is some question about the source; the comments in the blog also stated the plant came from Orquifollaje in Colombia. However, the description in the IOSPE states the species is also found in Colombia. There are supporting photos in the IOSPE, OW and the orchidroots.com.
