Default Pleurothallis species from Guatemala

I got this as a "we'll know what it is when it blooms" - I'm leaning towards Pleurothallis quadrifida. It came from Guatemala. Any opinions? Flowers are slightly scented of lemon/honey, buttery yellow. They lasted very well, about 2 months.
Thanks for any info - Nancy
p.s. Is there a way to cross-post to the pleurothallid or miniatures forum without reloading and retyping everything?

I'd agree with you on the name:
Pleurothallis quadrifida

To do a second entry, I usually just do a copy & paste into a new thread.

Dear Nancy,

Your plant is what was long known as Pleur. quadrifida. It had a name change about 25 years ago to Pl. racemiflora. It is one of my favorite species and has that wonderful lemon scent.

Hope that helps, Eric
