I was not aware of the term, "pe...Thanks Prem.<br />I was not aware of the term, "pelorism", but I was trying to suggest the plant got its instructions "confused", by noting that the Labellum is really a petal, so another petal beside it getting the same "instruction" (to grow calli) is not that surprising.<br />Thanks for the reference to "pelorism". I shall check it out further. Much appreciated.<br />Interestingly, there is some history for this, in this genus, because the "type specimen" for <i>Chiloglottis trilabra</i> was named from specimens with "three labellums" <a href="http://www.publish.csiro.au/pid/5426.htm" rel="nofollow">Jones, D</a> <br />Having read that comment ages ago, when I saw my photo I wondered if that was a reference to the same phenomenon? After all, I only photographed that plant from one side. Maybe the other side has it too. I need to go back and check.<br />Thanks very much for the comment. Great stuff to learn things from experienced people such as yourself.<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-64340525323093572052011-01-23T18:26:21.170+11:002011-01-23T18:26:21.170+11:00I bet the petal showing some of the calli normally...I bet the petal showing some of the calli normally seen on only the lip is not due to proximity between the two during development, but rather a dash of pelorism...i.e. the petal followed some of the 'rules' that the lip would normally follow during development. This is the same phenomenon seen in 'splash petal' Cattleyas.<br /><br />---Prem<br /><a href="http://flnativeorchids.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Florida Native Orchid Blogger</a>Premhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09720547317948102261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-29234814133030305292011-01-23T18:18:56.672+11:002011-01-23T18:18:56.672+11:00Hi Kirsten

Next best thing to an X-Ray.<br />Anyway, these are just starting to flower - so plenty of time to see them in the flesh. Another species - <i>Chiloglottis sylvestris</i> - is budding up, so plenty to see over the next few weeks. That one is good because not only is it on its southern limit here in Robertson, we also have an alba form (green flowers - no pigment) on one side of the road, and normal (reddish) ones on the other side of the road. Convenient, eh?<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-17238755551083788332011-01-23T12:01:55.608+11:002011-01-23T12:01:55.608+11:00Great photo, wish I could have been there, I have ...Great photo, wish I could have been there, I have never seen an insectiform look so much like a live insect<br />KirstenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
