Is it a Psychopsis papilio ???

[Erythrone]

According to the paper it is Oncidium papilio ‘Ti-Pou’ HCC/AOS. It won its award last week-end in Quebec city.

A very nice bloom. But....is it really a Psychopsis papilio ? IMO it could be an intergeneric cross (maybe an Aspopsis ?)

Its also not a Dendrobium papilio,but

Dendrobium auriculatum

Hope only the article is full of mistakes,and not the AOS Judging...(but the author must have taken names somewhere....)...

 

[Erythrone]

Oh.... I guess it has been awarded as Den. papilio.... Is it possible to correct a name after judging?

 

[Erythrone]

Valenzino, what is the difference between papilio and auriculatum?

Valenzino, what is the difference between papilio and auriculatum?

Most important is the shape of the base of the lip and column...very different...
Secondary(as is not so important usually in taxonomy) the color of the lip....D.papilio have always some pink/red on the lip...D.auriculatum green yellow at the base...

 

[Erythrone]

Thanks, that were my thoughts too!

BTW, there seem to be some pink in the lip, but I guess it could be auriculatum anyway... or... an hybrid?
