User's notes

Some rather sick looking Speculantha found on one of my Fire and Orchids survey sites. Apologies for the blurry second image.

Looks like S. rubescens but usually not in such dense colonies as your second image suggests.

It was on a rocky slope at one of my survey sites. The site itself was very disturbed. One possible explanation for the size of the group is that they were all trying to get away from the weeds.
