Stanhopea grandiflora |
Initially described as Ceratochilus grandiflorus by Loddiges, it was transferred to the genus Stanhopea by Lindley ; it must not be confused with another species that was later invalidly given the same name (Stanhopea grandiflora (Humb. & Bonpl.) Rchb.f.) by H. G. Reichenbach, but is now Stanhopea jenischiana Kramer ex Rchb.f. .
