User's notes

Checked out Michael Mulvaney's C. saprophyticus. The basal leaf was very short, 8 cm, but was also very crispy. Unfortunately the dried leaf broke when I was measuring it. Column pointed, not bent. Labellum hairs distinctly reddish.

Contrary to my suggestion, I think this plant is C. montanous. The other plants in the area looked identical apart from colouration of the labellum hairs and leaf length.
