    Gladiolus debilis red markings or nectar guides on the lower tepals differ. This flower has the common V-shaped markings but with a pair of large red spots added and more basal markings behind that. The upper tepals in picture have faint vein lines across the white surfaces (Goldblatt and Manning, 1998; iNaturalist).
