THIS PHOTO IS TAKEN WITH MACRO LENS. Absolutely tiny plant, smaller than a 5cent piece. Distinctly different to a normal C. fuscata

Without having seen the flower, it looks like a tiny version of Cal carnea to me Aaron. Cal mentiens is supposed to have quite blunt/short sepals and petals, although to be honest I'm yet to see a Cal mentiens I would be happy calling
