Peristylus densus (Lindl.) Santapau & Kapadia !


I cant see the spur properly but this reminds me of Peristylus secundus.


Any chance of Peristylus densus as per images herein or there is a mix up in these images ?


I can see flowers have slightly shorter scrotiform spur. Which is not in densus.


Are the other images OK at Peristylus densus ?


Except for the one I just now replied, I think the rest are densus.

This Peristylus densus (Lindl.) Sant. & Kap.


I have doubts about this. I can see a scrotiform spur.


What can it be ?


I have no idea what this is? may be a new species. Need to check. Can you see the spur in lower flower …?


Reminds me of Peristylus secundus.
