Ellenathus-lentii-2019-08-02***Determined to be Elleanthus capitatellus, not E. lentii (Nov 2020); E. lentii and E. capitatellus are similar; however, in E. lentii the rachis is nearly spherical and in E. capitatellus it is subcapitate; the rachis in this plant more closely fits E. capitatellus; the lip of this plant is broad and fimbriated with fairly long hairs which closely match the E. capitatellus photo on the IOSPE; also, the bracts of this plant and of E. capitatellus are purple***
