paradoxa subsp. septentrionalis |
|
This newly described subspecies differs from the more southerly ranging subsp. paradoxa in its consistently narrower stem-segments, only 7-11 mm in diameter and in its flowers, which turn a brighter yellow postanthesis and have longer, thinner and more spreading stigma-lobes. DISTRIBUTION Brazil (E Pernambuco, E Bahia, Minas Gerais, Espirito Santo): epiphyte in Atlantic and seasonal forest, near sea-level to c. 900m altitude
