User's notes

As suggested I have gone back to this flower but these will be the best we are likely to get as the flower is now damaged (bent over half way up the stem). The plant is approximately 110 mm tall. I propped the stem up to take these photos. I think this is D. revolution, the inside image of the Vertical Sepal is very like CNM example. The second flower has either already flowed or unlikely to complete flowering. What ever this is it does not appear to have been recorded here before.

I agree and have confirmed it as D. revolutum. The flower is starting to look a bit past its best. You are correct it hasn't been recorded from there before.
