Gongora-pardina-2022-08-24 *SITF confirmed as Gongora pardina (Sep 2022); the apparent larger than normal natural spread of the flower was due to the flower not being completely mature and the wings not having folded back into the usual position; this plant agrees with Rudolf Jenny's description of G. pardina; the determination is supported by photos on the OW, IOSPE and the orchidroots.com.*
