Collection sheet by © Summerhayes

Common Name Mildbraed's Disperis

Flower Size

Found in Cameroom and the Gulf Of Guinea islands

"An ally of D nemorosa and D. Anthoceros and D. kamerunensis from each of which it differs in the detailed structure of the lip. Above the column this is erect and enclosed in the galea, but the lip proper terminates in a small papillose knob not far above the apex of the rostellum. The appendage continues the lip in an almost straight line into the galea being sharply incurved at the apex and then bilobed. The most striking feature about D. Mildbraedii, however, is the aristate acuminate ends to the petals, these projecting forwards from the front base of the galea like two horns." Summerhayes 1933
