Gongora odoratissima Lem. 1847 SECTION Gongora Photo by © Tez and The Orchids Online Australia Website
Another Flower? not Photo by © Danny Lentz, plant grown by the Atlanta Botanical Garden
Common Name The Highly Scented Gongora
Flower Size
Found in Venezuela and Tolima, Colombia as a medium sized, hot growing epiphyte that blooms in the spring on a basal, pendent, many flowered inflorescence.
Often cited as a syn of G quinquenervis, I feel that it sufficiently different to be a separate entity.
