Common Name Williams' Mormodes

Text By Weyman Bussey

I found this one out of bloom, (and thank God, because if it had been in bloom I would have dropped my drawers), near La Esperanza, Oaxaca, Mexico about 4000 feet [ 1300 meters] elevation. Of course, on a rotted fallen tree!

Cited as a synonym of Mormodes luxata but I feel there are sufficient differences to keep them separate.
