more idenification please!

[mcitil]

Hey folks, got some more unknown orchids from a rescue project Im working on. First two pics are of the same plant, last two of another. Im thinking cymbidium for the first. No idea on the last... help. Please!

Without flowers is almost impossible a correct identification; the secon one is a Schomburgkia, I guess (Tribe Epidendreae, i.e. cattleya-alliance)
The first is a Tribe Maxillarineae member, but this Tribe includes Zygos, Maxillarias, Oncidiuns....looks like a Acineta plant, but could be any other...but I'm sure that is not a Cymbidium!

I agree with Frederico, the last two photos look like some type of Schomburgkia to me.

I thought the first one was a miltonia or miltonopsis

[Shadow]

It is not a cymbidium. I think the first one is beallara or cambria and the second is dendrobium. But it is very difficult to guess correctly without flowers.

...wow we have given all different IDs here and another forum

[Mahon]

The first picture depicts a plant that belongs to Subtribe Oncidiinae. Until it blooms, visible identification on it is nearly impossible.

The second is a Myrmecophila. This is a segregate genus of Scomburgkia. Until this one blooms, it will be hard to tell what it truly is. I am guessing it is Myrmecophila tibicinis because of its size and shape, but it could also be Myr. brysiana.

Hope this helps somewhat. Just gotta let the plants bloom first!

wow..you guys rock, thanks!

[mcitil]

so as for care, treat the first one like an oncidium, and the schomb/myr. like a cattleya?

[Mahon]

Yes (we rock), yes (treat first like an Oncidium), and yes (treat like a Schombo./Cattleya)!
