Pale Triton (Tritonia pallida)Observer
andrewmDescription
Tritonia Buffelsdrift
I think it's subspecies taylorae. I have been unable to find the differences between the two subspecies, but from what I have gleaned from ispot, subsp.pallida has no toothed keel on the lower tepals, whereas the other one does. Its in the right area. The only record I can find is at Justor, but I couldn't access the page. I have a second picture of another one, but this seems not to have any markings on the lower tepals at all, although it was growing on the same hill. I have added the other one for comprison, so that if the two are different, people can try to spot the distinction. Quite frankly, I am baffled. If a positive id is made, I will then split them into two separate observations.

Tritonia pallida subsp. pallida ah
We are uncertain of the subspecies. I have called it subsp. pallida because I see no sign of the small green-yellow tooth in the centre of the 3 lower flower lobes in the photograph. We weren't aware of this distinction in the field. The presence of the tooth would make it the Vulnerable subsp. tayloriana. Plants are up to 50cm tall. Would be grateful for some educated help.
