This orchid with its curious hairy flowers was collected in the
lush rainforests of the Burmese mountains. John Day was the first
orchid enthusiast to induce it to flower. He sent a specimen to
H G Reichenbach who published its description in the Gardeners’
Chronicle in 1865, naming the plant in honour of the man who sent
him so many unusual orchids over a period of 25 years.
