Sobralia cobanensis Archila forma paulii

Given to me by Alfredo Mo Mo, a Guatemalan friend and orchid collector, as a species from Guatemala under the name of Sobralia warscewiczii. From Nina Rach's "The Sobralia Pages", I read that Sobralia warscewiczii has fragrant blue flowers and is exceedingly rare. It has seldom been seen since it was described in the last century. Playing it safe, I will tag it: Sobralia sp from Guatemala.

Later it was identified as Sobralia cobanensis Archila.
