Most of these botanical key features we may view in your fine close-up photographs :
– thank you for making them for the aesthetic wonder incl. beauty,
and so that we straightforwardly take a short time checking the botanical key :
– quotation: "
Lateral lobes of column ... without hair-tufts
Lateral lobes of column extended into distinct appendages
Lateral lobes of column fleshy, suberect; anther beak obtuse
Mid-lobe of column prominent; lateral lobes of column less than 3 mm long, protruding forwards
Lateral lobes of column quadrangular, not much longer than wide, flattish, with fingerlike papillae outside; anther-point lower than mid-lobe; sepals apiculate
" .
