Holothrix filicornis flower lobes curving prodigiously

This Holothrix filicornis inflorescence is lax, bearing a few, well spaced flowers along its stem. This allows visibility of the greenish ovaries and stem.

The lobes of the lip and petal segments of these flowers curve back strongly.

Long, pale spurs, notably thicker than the perianth segment lobes, are pendulous below the flowers. Their texture suggests translucence of the greyish surfaces (Williamson, 2010).
