Just came across this sighting from a sighting this year, which I IDed as C dimorpha. I think this one looks like C dimorpha too given the white flowers, appear quite large, and with that labellum with long teeth. Thoughts Matt?

Thank you for checking - this is in the same area as the recent sighting. The lens cap is 72mm

Tobias, I struggle to see any real difference between these plants and ustulata. I suppose the teeth look a little longer closer to the tip of the labellum than in the other records of ustulata on nature map. I will leave the decision to you.

Yeah, its tricky, as size seems to be a major difference and that's hard to judge from photos (even with the lens cap in the background, as its not on the same focal plane as the flower). Some other C dimorpha sightings on CNM, and I feel like in general they (look like) larger flowers, with a broader labellum and quite long teeth and white flowers.
