Hi Dave

here is my contribution to your questions:

Ecuagenera do have R. chocoensis from flasked seeds. whether they're from a succesful selfing, or from an outcross, is a question I can't answer.

The difference between T. scobina & regia lies in the number of calli/keels on the lip. One species has 3, while the other has 4. That's what I read in the Icones. I've both species, and will probably, someday, dissect one flower from each to check if my plants are correctly labelled. In the meantime, I've just harvested pods of scobina x regia. From their distribution maps, it seems they're quite recently isolated populations of a common ancestor.

There hasn’t been any action on the list in a while so, perhaps someone can help with a couple of questions:

 

1 - Restrepia chocoensis was known from a single collection for a very long time and – as I understand it – self infertile; I know that a second plant  was purportedly found some time in the recent past. Does anyone know when the second plant was found; if there have been any successful outcrosses with the original, and if so are progeny now available?

 

2 - What are the morphological distinctions between Trisetella regia and scobina? I do not have access to the green books and am curious.
