Mystery plant

Hi -- this showed up on our show-and-tell table today at the society meeting. Nobody can figure out what it is. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Jumellea?

 

[Kevin]

Cancel that - not Jumellea, but definitely something in the Angraecinae...I think.

 

[SlipperFan]

Maxillaria?

 

[Erythrone]

Cryptocentrum latifolium?

C. lehmanii?

The first one. Thank you. Our society member will be happy to know what it is that she's growing.

I knew someone on Slippertalk would find the answer.

Thank you!

I'm kind of wondering why its in a plastic bag!

Don't ask me how, but it's growing in a rock. I looks like a hollowed-out piece of marble. I was amazed, because there is no visible opening in the bottom, and apparantly no way to get the root mass out of the hole in the top

A wack with a hammer wil solve that if you want to repot it.

My first thought was maxillaria too.
