    What does the real Masd. klabochorium look like? Here is mine labeled as Masd. klabochorium but I don't know if it is the real thing.

    According to Icones PLeurothallidinarum XXIII, Leur says that it is "basically similar to M. xanthina, but the sepals are white and without an "eye-spot" at the base of the lateral sepals."

    do you have a picture of the base of the lateral sepals? So we can see if it has a spot or not.

    I thought I might have an older photo somewhere but I couldn't find it. My plant is out of blooms now but I don't think my flower has any spot at the base though.
    Forrest, you have a piece of this one and I do hope it is a real thing.

    I believe mine is in spike, maybe. I will have to check. So hopefully we will know soon.
