Posted on July 17, 2023
Finding
This plant was identified as Porpax extinctoria by Dr Henrik Aerenlund Pedersen, the co-author describing this species along with Andre Schuiteman and Y. P. Ng. Porpax extinctoria and P. summerhasiana are very similar; however, the "shriveled" pseudobulbs of this plant better match P. extinctoria than P. summerhasiana as shown in the IOSPE plant and flower photo. The gold-yellow keels on the lip also match P. extinctoria as can be seen in the image showing the lip. Twenty matching photos can also be found on the orchidroots.com.
