Trichoceros hajekiorum

Trichoceros hajekiorum
I purchased this as a Trichoceros species from Peru and seems to fit best the description of Trichoceros hajekiorum. It has a rambling habit with the small pseudobulbs spaced at 3-4 cm intervals, each carrying a tiny leaf at the top of the pseudobulb and with larger sheathing leaves around the pseudobulb. The 8 cm flower spikes come from the base of the pseudobulb and carry two flowers. Its flowers are designed to mimic an insect, probably a fly of some kind and this pollination is effected.
