Colin I was referencing the orange flowers of Ian's grandiflora.
Whoops, OK, now I understand. Sorry, my confusion.
If you've a photo of the flowers of your T. ? wallichii please post, or maybe when it next flowers?
T. cacalioides has longer narrowly tubular flowers whereas those of T. wallichii are shorter and more bell-shaped, so in flower they're easily distinguishable. Sorry but I don't have photos of either to post for comparison.
Cheers,

I think some botanists are either confused, or poor at Greek - "Phyllopodia" means "leaf-feet". Whoever heard of plants having feet?

Here's part of mine I won't show you the base which is mess, its an old rescue from Doug Rowlands collection.
What do you think of my Phyllopodia

Awesome phyllopodia, that's what I'd say.
Meanwhile I have nought a single phyllopodium to display in public.
