Note Photos below are those of an orchid which was cultivated by Nakano Orchid Nursery and displayed at the Orchid Show 2008 in Tokyo Dome (Tokyo Japan).
This orchid was displayed as Gastrorchis schlechteri 'Fredensborg'. Gastrorchis schlechteri Français is a synonym of Gastrorchis humblotii (Reichenbach f.) Schlechter var. schlechteri (H. Perrier) Senghas ex Bosser & P. J. Cribb (syn. Phaius humblotii Reichenbach f. var. schlechteri (H. Perrier) Bosser; Phaius schlechteri (H. Perrier) Summerhayes). However said orchid was in fact Gastrorchis pulchra 'Fredensborg'. I examned these based on Johan and Clare Hermans, David Du Puy, Phillip Cribb and Jean Bosser, Orchid of Madagascar second edition, Kew Publishing, 2007.
