5-5-34 vary il BON all II “incurred”) 2/3 as long as vary. Lip 5 x 5 mm, rhomboidal (narrow) almost flat. Lip has effect of being unfolded with edges a little crenate. but close inspection (20x) reveals a middle lobe more obscure than all others and much less distinct than all lobes. A rosy purple (less of purple than in O. Morio). Lip & lateral sepals with darker dots markings as in II. Color? It seems questionable but in other respects this seems to fit desc. and no other species in SVK would do. P.B.M. thinks this perhaps the same as 6-28-33 but cannot be absolutely sure. 5-5-34 Valeriana dioica L. Costa II 263, Bon. 145, BON 225 SVKI 642 Fl qv?
