Update to sighting 3878407 - found a larger colony of plants nearby. I originally thought these were maybe P. aneaba as they seemed fairly similar to previously confirmed nearby sightings (3387190 and 3389045). But these plants also look very similar to the recent sighting 3930922 which has been identified as P. monticola. So not sure if these are not also P. monticola - there were some larger flowers and several were taller (35cm plus) than previous sightings identified as P. aneaba. Images here are the largest flowers / taller plants I could see. Glen

I think this looks more like P. monticola. The broadly notched, bulging sinus and somewhat downcurved flowers fit that species. Would you agree, Tobias?

Yes, I agree that these look like Pt monticola, and that the previous sighting also looks like Pt monticola. I checked with Mark and he agreed that the previous sighting (3878407) looked like Pt monticola.
