Pleurothallis-bivalvis-var-ignivomi-Bryon-CHM-86-Pts-2021-03-24***Confirmed as Pleurothallis bivalvis (Apr 2022-04); var. ignivomi is invalid since there is no validly published variety of P. bivalvis; P. bivalvis as currently circumscribed is extremely variable; the general shape and number of veins in the sepals are consistent with P. bivalvis; these petals however are smooth and the line drawing shows a dentate margin; the 1914 drawing of Schlecter's P. stenocardium (synonym) does not show serrations on the petals, but Luer's drawing of P. lilianae (synonym) does show serrations; of 13 photos in orchidroots.com, none show serrations of the petals.***
