That is an amazing plant. I rarely see Harbenarias in general.

It is a spectacular plant for sure. Here it is alongside its very near relative, H. myriotricha (on the left):

My question also. Are you sure they aren't synonyms?

They were available a year or so ago from Hoosier and Oak Hill. There were several at the MAOC in Mason, Ohio, a few weeks ago. I don't know if Oak Hill has any right now.

I picked up Habenaria medusae from Eric Michael at the Chicagoland Orchidfest.

As yet not sufficiently researched to know for sure Dot. H. medusa is considered a valid name for plants native to Indonesia while H. myriotricha are applied to plants in Vietnam and Laos. At present the status of the later species is uncertain. Here's more information about these plants and their cultivation.

Interesting. Thanks, Tom. I've not seen this website before, either -- looks like a good bookmarker for me!
