Finding

SITF has determined this plant to be Macroclinium manabinum, not M. junctum (Aug 2024). Closely matches Macroclinium manabinum 'Bernice' CHM/AOS. It is an excellent match to M. manabinum description and illustration (plate 173) in Dodson's Icones Plantarum Tropicarum. The description indicates a similar flower size with clusters at the end of the inflorescence and the wart-like (pustulate) bumps on the foliage as being distinctive for this species.
