Looks a little like the aff valida in Lachlan’s book but I don’t know that species and I don’t have great photos

It has quite a lot of calli so it might be the aff valida? I really can't tell the difference.

Maybe worth asking Lachlan, i'm a bit hesitant to apply the name given the book says it's known from a single population

I am inclined to call it C. vallida for now. If/when we find out more about aff vallida we can review.
