" Phragmipedium anguloi is obviously closely related to Phragmipedium andreettae, from which it differs in three major characteristics: (1) The plants of P. anguloi are much more compact; (2) The staminode morphology is very different; and (3) The pouch morphology is different, showing very distinct and well-developed fenestrations.
