Help with ID

Hello,

I got this plant a few months ago and it was sold to me as a Neo. It first produced a spike (now in bloom) and another one is on its way.

It went in bloom today into... this. The flowers are incredibly small (about 1 cm large and 5 mm high) and you can see the colour for yourselves.

I am definitely sure it is not a Neo, but I think Pteroceras, maybe a hybrid.

I'll try to trace the seller, of course, but in the meantime, I would like to hear your opinions.

Thank you in advance,

O.

Do you have a picture of the whole plant? The flower kind of looks like a Sedirea.

Nice looking flower!

Thank you, Myorchid!

This is the whole thing. I do not have Sedireas, but I saw some pictures online and the leaves seem to be different, but similar to the ones of the Pteroceras -- at least this one I have

I know the picture is not very good, but it half past midnight over here, so I have to deal with the available lights in the house.

Well, let's hope we can ID it!

Oh, as for Sedireas, how small are their flowers

Don't know what it is either, but it's very cute. I'm sure someone will come along that can ID it for you soon. Does it have a scent?

It's certainly not a Neo or Sederia, both plant habit and flower are all wrong for both. I wonder if it is a type of Gastrochilus, though I'm not sure because Gastrochilus typically have short inflorescences with clusters of flowers.

K, thank you for your answer! I have no idea either, I still hope to trace the seller and maybe find it out this way.

Solay, I couldn't smell anything until now, but it went in bloom yesterday. Maybe there's a chance of perfume when flowers get more mature? I've got no idea, since I don't even know what it is. I have an alien in the house!!! )

I can only tell you that I'm growing it on bark alone and it seems to like it, since it has two spikes. But I know this doesn't help with the ID...

Hello again,

This is for all of you, most of all for Mr. Kmarch -- could it be a Sarcoglyphis comberi? Or a Cleisostoma arietinum?

The colour of the lip became more pink than before, I'll take some new photos tomorrow with natural light.

Have a good night everyone!
