Finding
SITF confirms this that this plant is Scaphyglottis pulchella (Aug 2023). Scaphyglottis pulchella and S. clavata are very similar; however, Scaphyglottis pulchella plants are almost reedstemmed, whereas those of S. clavata have distinctly swollen upper sections (Club-Shaped) and much broader leaves. Also, S. pulchella has larger flowers with larger, fatter sepals and petals and a wider lip. Supporting images are found in the IOSPE, orchidroots.com and the OW. Identification was confirmed as well by Dr. Franco Pupulin.
