Satyrium-coriifolium-2023-12-26 *SITF has determined this plant to be Satyrium erectum, not Satyrium coriifolium (Jan 2024).

Posted on December 26, 2023

Finding
Satyrium coriifolium is a much larger plant with orange to red-orange flowers. The flower color and size of this plant agrees better with Satyrium erectum, which is blooming without the paired, basal leaves. This may be due to senescence or aging of the leaves. There are supporting images of S. erectum and contrasting images of S. coriifolium in the OW and orchidroots.com.
