Is it new vanda species?

[zainal abidin]

For your information on the left is Vanda hindsii and on the right is new species from Irian Jaya just opened for the past few days I was wandering whether this is new species or another variations of V. hindsii. Comments is welcome.

The 'old' plant, where is that from Zain? Is the 'new' plant a 'wild' collected plant ?
Reason I ask is that there is the Australian form of hindsii which is slightly different to the Papua - New Guinea form.
From the notes I've had a look at, Irian Jaya isn't specified as a location in which its found. Papua New Guinea, some Islands etc are. The plant is reported as being found in specific locations also, not as a broad growing area in the regions.

Both are very lovely. I'll leave the ID to the taxonomists. Very nice pictures for comparison, Zainal. Selamat Hari Raya Idil Fitri to you and the Family.

Thanks Roy the old plant I'm not that sure the vendor just mention from Indonesia -- far east maybe from Papua both are wild collected I just remembered they put the small plant vanda together with Pomatocalpa marsupialis no further details as orchid collectors they move from islands to islands to get wild orchids.
