Lepanthes-cordeliae-2020-01-29***Confirmed as Lepanthes sijmii, not Lepanthes cordeliae (May 2020); the shape of the flower segments and flower size are wrong for L. cordeliae; the morphology better fits L. sijmii; L. cordeliae flowers from the backside of the leaf carrying the entire inflorescence under the leaf; L. sijmii flowers from the front side of the leaf, as does this plant; the description and drawing of L. sijmii can be found in Selbyana, Vol. 23, No.1 (2002), pg. 22 and the description and drawing of L. cordeliae can be found in Lindleyana, Vol. 7-02 (1992), pg. 103.***
