Another view.

Side view.

The whole plant with another inflorescence, ultimately a flower will emerge from each little notch, one at a time. They say grow it like a Vanda, leave it in the small basket as it will make a beard of roots.

I can see where part of the name comes from. If there is a sister planet I'm expecting centipeda to be there...magnificent plant. Is it difficult to grow? Are there any for sale?

There is a synonym, artiafa or something like that. I have the name at home. It was sold to me with that name on the tag but if you look it up on Jay's list, he redirects you to centipedes. Seems to be easy enough, warm grower

I got it as Thr arachnites from eBay. I don't remember the vendor's name sorry. The tag is not helpful.

Sorry, Nick

Very unusual looking plant. Love the idea of it being fragrant.

There is one offered on eBay:

I found a few on ebay. When I tried to finish the order I got various messages on vacation, be back soon, etc. I will try another time. Thanks for the effort.

Thrixospermum hystrics, bears no resemblance to the other one. Found in Thailand, Laos, Java, Sumatra, Suluwesi and the Philippines, little thing.

Nick

The whole plant.
