SITF has determined this plant to be Dracula chimaera, not Dracula tubeana (Sep 2024). This plant was originally awarded as Dracula tarantula which was then recognized as Dracula tubeana in Sept 2020. It was challenged as D. chimaera which fits the description better than D. tubeana based on is shape, coloration, and fixed lip. Also, Dracula tubeana has a very distinct color pattern that is different from this plant which does fit D. chimaera.
