Default Re: Flaviflora and Thomsonii differences?

The true M. flaviflora has not been seen in a long time. Simmonds had it in Trinidad during his time, but his collection is mostly gone from what I have heard. Who knows what the M. flaviflora on the market is though. In addition, a new species M. chunii appears to be similar to what M. flaviflora is supposed to look like.
