Pinalia cycloglossa Haleakala Snow Cap 2023-09-16

Posted on September 16, 2023

Finding
SITF confirms this plant as Pinalia cycloglossa (Dec 2024). Matches several photos of P. cycloglossa by Art Vogel, who worked with Eduard de Vogel and the "Orchids of New Guinea". The submitted plant is an excellent match, with its semi-falcate lateral sepals and 'nearly' circular lip, to the description and illustration from Schlechter's 1914 "Orchidacea of German New Guinea" (1982 translation by Australian Orchid Foundation).
