Awarded As: Gongora fulva
This was entered into a show as Gongora tricolor. The team awarded it as Gongora fulva.
Several judges in the room did not think this looked correct for that species, so asked for it to be submitted for verification.
Because this happened after the awarding, measurements and description of the plant were not taken.
