Hi all,

I am new to Pleurothallis I can't spell it or say it very well but I live amoung many of them.

I have some photos I am trying to ID. Are there any good web sites to look at? I know of orchidspeicies .com but having to click on every one of hundreds is time consuming.

Thanks,

Jim

I don't know what this one is... but another good website is Orchids of the Pleurothallid Alliance

You might send a photo to Carlyle Luer at CLuer@juno.com
He can instruct you further on sending a specimen for taxonomic identification.
Dr. Luer is taxonomic authority that is recognized by AOS.

I believe it is:
Pleurothallis luctuosa
Pleurothallis luctuosa

Pleurothallis luctuosa

I am not sure if I did that link correctly. I hit the link button but nothing happened.
