That's a weird looking plant. I want to call this D. laxum. Also reminds me of D. abrupta with that red colour on the mouth.

@mattm both of those I didn't even consider, after seeing about 1000 decurva and coccina on this survey! It was all on its lonesome, too.

@mattm also, I have no idea why 3/4 of my sightings are giving an elevation of 429.5m when they are all actually between 1200-1550m. Glitch?

Abrupta ehh, that would be a turn out for the books! Agree laxa is probably closest.
