Hi! Help! #Orchid ID please!

Hi! I found this orchid today at a local plant sale, and I can't quite tell all of what the label says: "trichoni---"???? I've attached a picture of the label. #orchidlovers

Thank you!! 😊

Sometimes it's difficult to get the correct ID I searched too see if it has a common name, but couldn't find one https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonidium_(plant) maybe try one of the synonyms or by species! 👀

@ShibaSunroom I believe this is a slipper orchid looking at the flower.

@gregteam how do I add a plant ID when it's not in the Greg database? Google says this one is a "Trigonidium'

Definitely not a slipper orchid, @Sassylimey is right. The seller misspelled trigonidium as “trichonitium” 🙂 this looks like a trigonidium egertonianum.
