Hi everybody,

The three of them seem native to hilly sites on middle argentina. The other already identified on the zone are Sacoila lanceolata y Habenaria hexaptera.

1- This one has 1 or at most 2 palm-like leaves, a white translucid bulb, and the flowers don't open fully, except the one which was forced for the picture.

2-This one I kept a whole month waiting to open, but just got as close as this bloom, hope It will be enough for a clue. I've spent years to find one flowering but still nothing.

3-This is a new one found on a friend's land nearby.
