"P. gustavoi can be distinguished from the similar white and rose-flowered species P. nelsonii Ames by the shape of the sepals (ovate vs. linear-ovate); wider dorsal sepal (.212 to.22" [5.3-5.5 mm]vs. less than .2" [<5 mm]); the wider synsepal (.212 to .26" [5.3- 6.5] mm vs. less than .2" [<5 mm]); and the shape of the lip (sub-pandurate vs. triangular)."Mark Wilson 2017
