Hi, I'm not familiar with the drymoanthus species maybe it's have some similarity or could be different sub tribe from Asian tropical forest.

im not suprised, as only two species are found, both in New Zealand. I think its of the same family as sarcochilus.

Drymoanthus flavus



Drymoanthus adversus



Very similar to sarcs, and as (im sure) sarcs extend into the equatorial region, this is of the same family. Also, the plants in general very closely resemble sarcochilus, myself mistaking adversus for sarc. hartmanii! all the while i was wondering who put it on the tree trunk as they dont grow wild in NZ!

Jordan , those two are very pretty I never seen before thanks for attaching in this thread. I had tried Sarcochilous hartmannii but cannot stand with the hot weather here finally I sent to heaven.

Great pics Zain!
Especially I like this Dendro leonis with its tiny flower, which I have in my collection and it is great to see how it grows in the wild.

Brancha, this species they like to grow on Durian tree, I saw entire branch about 4 meters of Durian tree occupied by this species,stunning, I cant get the photos because very bushy, worried about the unexpected snake, feel sad cant get the shot. Maybe next time.Zain

P1 I think this is the best nursery for Acampe species, I counted more than 20 seedlings on the same branch together with mature plants.
P2 to P4 maybe Pteroceras species.
