"Part of the P uniflora complex which are characterized by the small plants less than 4" [10 cm] tall, with inflorescence half as long or subequal to the leaf, linear-lanceolate leaves, fractiflex inflorescence and glabrous flowers. P conceicionensis differs in the purple brown enfused with green vs orange yellow finely spotted with dark purple, the floral bract is shorter than the pedicel vs significantly longer, the dorsal sepal is narrower and ovate, the petals are one-nerved, a shorter inflorescence, acute petals vs obtuse-rounded and lateral sepals basally forming a small, visible chin. Also P uniflora blooms in the alte spring and P conceicionensis blooms in the late fall. Phots of this species were published in Baumbach 2009 as Specklinia uniflora." Chiron & Sanson 2012
