bulbophyllum accuminatum - help needed in ID confirmation

[catasetum-ian]

hi everyone, this one just bloomed this morning, had been searching for ID of this one, initially i thought it was bulb flabellum but the petal doesn't match then came across bulb accuminatum. any help here?

I asked a friend to take a look at it. He grows lots of bulbo orchids. Maybe he will be able to give you the identification.

Cheers,
BD

hi, just and update, the bulbo showing here is actually bulbo putidum, shown the picture to a local grower here immediately he recognized as putidum. sorry for the confusion. dunno how to correct the title of the post but hope this clarification helps

Hi Ian,

There's no way your plant could be a putidum- that is a completely different plant. I wish I could see the base of the labellum, but we can narrow our guesses to Cirrhopetalum flabellum-veneris or C. cumingii.

thanks for the info WALTER, i guess partly its my fault because took his words for granted and didn't check the pic of a putidum out from internet....yeap, you are definitely right. as for cirrhopetalum cumingii....the flower doesn't seems quite match to mine. cirrhopetalum flabellum veneris is one of the possibility i came across earlier,,,,maybe its flabellum veneris afterall.
thanks for feed back

Hi Ian,

If you have a magnifying glass and the plant is still in flower- and if you're really interested to know what your plant is, I suggest you take a look at the labellum, no matter how tiny they are. If you see a pair of tubercles or lumps at the base of the lip, then what you have is C. cumingii. If there is none, then it is C. flabellum-veneris.

I hope that helps, mate.

it definitely helps a lot WALTER, so far you had come up with the most precise and detail description for the ID. well, the lips looks smooth to me. but i will try to post a pic of the close up on the lip the next time it flower(current bloom is long gone). thanks you very much for your help, very much appreciated
