Field Notes

Description:

I think this spotting is C. phaeoclavia due to the flower size (40mm), the similar C. parva has a smaller flower (30mm) http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/780656005, C. tentaculata has a larger flower up to 10cm and C. dilatata has flattened yellow clubs on the end of sepals.

Habitat:

Grassy Dry Forest

Beautiful Vinny ! Can't hope to get such clarity with my little camera. Sounds like C.dilatata might also be a good one to see.
