Please help id this catasetum....

[swamprad]

Hi guys,

I know how tough it is to identify a hybrid, but a dear friend of mine got this catasetum from a recently deceased grower with no tag. It is a beauty, and she (obviously) wants to identify it. I'm pretty sure it has tenebrosum in its parentage. Can anyone help me identify it for her? Or do you know a catasetum guru (not on slippertalk) that I could contact for a bit of advice? Thanks in advance for the help! :clap:

Have you checked with Alex (Mad Russian!) in the Memphis society? I thought he was pushing big into Catesetum. Fred Clark may be the biggest name in Catesetums, but don't know how to contact him.

Thanks Rick, the mad Russian had no clue, but I found Fred Clarke's email and sent him the pics!

Thanks Ramon, I am pretty sure you are very near the mark, possibly a bullseye!

Any other comments are welcome!

As with any unknown hybrid...no way to tell for sure so she shouldn't breed with it.

Whatever it is, I like the color & fringed lip!

I know that this is just wrong but, I'm sure she could find a nice guy and leave the plants alone. :evil:
