Schlimia-condorana-2022-09-16 *SITF confirmed as Schlimia condorana (Oct 2022); S. condorana is similar to S. alpina, however, S. alpina has a very long beak-like rostellum that projects into the lip and a large, flat callus that covers most of the surface of the lip; the crest of S. condorana is much smaller, fleshy and typically yellow as in this plant; the crest appears almost suspended in the lip and the rostellum is shorter than in S. alpina; matches the photo by Grobler and description in the OW and the photos in the IOSPE and orchidspecies.com.*
