Another massive colony, from edge of the road right up into the forest.

Might this one be vallida? I thought the petals were meant to be narrower in aff. jeansii?

@MattM not the petals which matter, but rather the calli. Very distinctive in this species, which has tall, crowded calli, compared to C valida which has shorter, more widely spaced calli.

@MattM there are often C valida right alongside, though! A colony I recorded the other day had both species interspersed, gotta look closely at those calli.

Thanks. For some reason I thought it was the petals.
