Rhipidoglossum longicalcar Summerh. 1936

Collection Sheet © by Summerhayes

Common Name The Long Spur Rhipidoglossum

Flower Size

Found in Nigeria

"This rather interesting species is characterised by the quadrate lip, which is longer than broad and truncate at the apex, the angles being acute and slightly curved outwards and the shallow sinus sometimes being furnished with an apiculus, and by the long slender spur. In other species of Rhipidoglossum which I have ex- amined the lip is broader than long, but the floral structure is other- wise very similar to that of R. longicalcar." Summerhayes 1936
