SITF has determined this plant to be Oberonia mucronata, not Oberonia costeriana (Jun 2023); Identification made with the aid of Dr. Daniel Geiger, a globally recognized taxonomic authority in the Genus Oberonia, who believes this is not correct as O. costeriana, but suggested it is O. mucronata. O. mucronata is very similar to O. cylindrica, but the apiculations on the O. cylindrica are longer and sharper than on O. mucronata, which are stubbier and blunter on the apices. Supporting photos of O. mucronata may be found in the POWO, an excellent matching photo in the IOSPE, and on the Flowers of India (http://www.flowersofindia.net/). The center has nullified the award due to prior awards to the species. Based on new information, SITF has re-determined this plant to be Oberonia cylindrica, not Oberonia mucronata (Aug 2023); Dr. Daniel Geiger, the globally recognized authority in the Genus Oberonia, has reassessed this plant and now identifies it as Oberonia cylindrica. He also stated these two species are similiar and in the future O. cylindrica could possibly become a subspecies under O. mucronata. Based on new information, SITF has re-determined this plant to be Oberonia cylindrica, not Oberonia mucronata (Aug 2023).
