Not sure, could be P. sphacelatum, but difficult to distingish from P. tadgellianum.

Many thanks, I am not certain if this helps, but I have added a more detailed image of a single flower. In the field is it possible to distinguish the two species?

I have consulted with the expert who thinks it more likely to be P. tadgellianum.
