Fig 9. Morphological comparisons of × Pseudorhiza nieschalkii nothosubsp. siculorum and parents.

The following three comparison diagrams show the intermediate characters of the hybrid’s habitus (Fig 9), inflorescence (Fig 10) and flowers (Fig 11), compared to those of its parents. The hybrids are almost as tall as the parents. The hybrid’s inflorescence is less floriferous and flat topped, resembling more that of D. fuchsii subsp. sooana parent. The flowers’ labellum is deeply three-lobed, very similar to P. albida subsp. tricuspis’ labella. Figs 9–11 © 2020 N. Anghelescu originals.
