Aerangis

Aerangis modesta. Maybe

 

Your plant doesn't look like articulata or modesta. Certainly not even come close to the articulata and modesta that I have.
Bill, If I have time and find something on the books I have, I let you know.

 

I have seen similar plants with the red coloured spike and the red tinged, rounder leaves named 'modesta'. The spikes on these tend to be somewhat thinner than the conventional 'modesta', which seem to have thicker, green spikes. Part of me wonders whether these are the true modesta, and green spiked ones are simply mislabeled variants of articulata. Does anyone have the new Aerangis book to look this up?

 

This plant is not in the optimum state to be identified in my opinion. I was just looking through La Croix's book. I don't know if it was Hillerman's book or Stewart's but one was depicting the distribution of modesta. One growing at the edge of forests are the red leafed ones.

The thing that might decide against it being modesta is the beaked column. Which it does have and supports the guess.

 

I agree with DPfarr.
I think that this orchid maybe survives, but certainly suffers since 15 years....
Only two such little leaves, even if it is A.modesta, it is not normal....so it is really hard to find its id...

 

15 yrs is a long time for a plant. I doubt this plant has been suffering all these years..., if the leaves are always so small (for all these 15 years), I would like to believe this is something else rather than the modesta that I know of.
The flower does look like modesta, but there are so many Angreacoids that look all alike, for example, the Ang. didieri group and some Jumellea. Dig deeper!

Bill, I could not find anything like your plant, sorry.

 

The flowers on both of my clones(modesta) are about 1" wide, maybe a little bit bigger but not by much. The spike is about 10" long and It has lots of flowers.

 

Two little leaves, only two flowers, some dried roots....I'm sorry but you can not say that this Aerangis is healthy!!
It maybe survive since 15 years but there are not so many different Aerangis and none with these characteristics....it is surely A.modesta or A.articulata!!
Sometimes in the plant world there may be weak individuals , malformed , as in humans

 

I've never seen a punctata hybrid either. I'm interested in what traits are transferred in those hybrids. The leaf patterns, the bumpy roots, the off white creamy colored flowers. Very curious if any of those would be dominate.

There is Aerangis Winter Dove and Winter Snow.

Winter Dove is kotschyana x Armado Vasquez =(cryptodon x articulata)

Winter Snow is Winter Dove x fastuousa

The red you're talking about, is very apparent on the modesta or articulata when grown bright. It could be a hybrid of either.
