Chelonistele sp
large, multi flowered epiphytic orchid, growing low to the ground, one of the most impressive wild orchid I've ever spotted, possibly Chelonistele amplissima.
tropical heath forest, 1000m
I clearly remember when I first spotted this orchid at the base of a moss covered tree, just before the Nepenthes camp in Maliau basin conservation. I'm always spotting orchids with such small flowers, so it was a nice treat to spot something as largely flowered as this.
