    I bought this plant from Hoosier Orchids a year and a half ago with the tag reading "Restrepia species HOC 303". It looks quite similar to some pictures of Restrepia brachypus, but not being a taxonomist, I would hesitate to name it such. Any comments from others on its name?

    Looks great and nice picture.

    It does look like Restrepia brachypus but like you I am not the expert so.......

    It might be trichoglossa too, if the lip has bumps and teeth on it...
