Gongora mystery

About 5-6 +/- years ago I purchased a potted plant on-line. When it arrived I noticed another small plant of unknown genus nestled down under the leaves. It was tiny, maybe 1.5 inch tall. I pulled it out as a weed and noticed that it had some decent roots. Just for fun I grabbed a 2" pot, scooped some gravel from the floor of the greenhouse and stuck the "weed" in it. It thrived. A few years ago, still not knowing what it was, I potted it up into this 4" pot with LECA. Yesterday the first flowers opened. I wish I had kept a record of what plant it was hitch-hiking in but it was not a Gongora. Anyway, it turned out pretty good I think.

 

Thanks, Zach.

 

Thanks for looking into this, Bill. Here is a detail of a part of the lip which I suspect is important in the ID. I don't know what this structure is called.


Here is an image identified as odoratissima that shows the same structure

Also, there is an old lithograph of odoratissima that shows the structure. I will look for the description drawing.

For now I will call mine Gongora cf. odoratissima

 

Piotr, I agree. It seems certain that it is in the Subsection Gongora and so many of them look very similar to me. Odoratissima, leuchochilla, chocoensis, histrionica and several others are in this subsection and look very similar to mine.
