Posted on February 17, 2025

Finding
SITF has determined this plant to be Oberonia rufilabris, not O. mucronata (Mar 2025). Identified with the aid of Dr. Daniel Geiger. He identified this plant as O. rufilabris. The characters supporting O. rufilabris and not O. mucronata are the changing length of the floral bracts: short at tip of inflorescence, becoming longer towards peduncle and the shorter, broad leaves, which are compatible with O. rufilabris. The Nordic Journal of Botany, "Studies on Oberonia 3. Aberrant flowers and other floral modifications in the orchid genus Oberonia "Volume 36, Issue 1_2 January/February 2018 contains descriptions, photos and comparisons between O. rufilabris and O. mucronata.
