Satyrium longicauda var. longicauda spurs and bracts

The arched down, white spurs of the Satyrium longicauda var. longicauda flowers in picture behind the corollas are long and cylindrical, bypassing the bracts that subtend the flowers. The spurs are longer than the ovaries, ending below the ovary bases that are positioned inside the bracts. The median sepals angle forward below the flowers, not straight.

The conspicuously down-folded bracts are fleshy, translucent brown, glistening with surface cells and longitudinally vein-lined. Their margins are whitish and membranous (Manning, 2009; Pooley, 1998; iNaturalist).
