Sabah: in small orchid nursery on road between Ranau and Kundasang, south of Mt Kinabalu.

this is a cross between Clowesia Grace Dunn and Catasetum tenberosum, psedubolb is stout but plump, thanks to the clowesia gene but size is much bigger compare to the clowesia relative. this rooting system of this plant like the clowesia is with abundant pneumatophore, but much more vigorous in nature. for that, i do recon this plant to be planted in basket netting like this one here, or mounted to have allow the rooting system to develop naturally. coloration of the bloom is 'very tenebrosum'.
