Clades size	Phylloclades form	Reference	Comments
M	dentate	SRL Registration	this is a pure S. orssichiana derived from wild forms. Seeds purchased from SeedlingsAndCuttings.eu in 2017. Sown and germinated in 2017. Phylloclades have 1-3 dentitions per margin with the upper teeth being larger. Extra apical dentitions are evident on some phylloclades. These can be large. This was the most robust seedling out of 10, only 2 of which survived and bloomed a year before my second survivor. Affectionately called "Caroline Shotton" after a young avid epiphytic collector who passed away far too young in 2020.
