Many taxonomic problems still exist with the nomenclature of this genus, however, this is for professional botanist to agree.
There are though observations that I have made in comparing the botanical data collected here with the monographs previously written by Dr. C. Vosa and Dr. R.B.Burbidge.
Data collected early in the flowering season was found to differ from previously recorded data by the aforementioned authors.
The reason for this was found to be climatical and the collection of comparative data seemed dependant on collecting data later in the flowering season when the sunshine levels and temperatures are closer to those where the specimens are found 'in-situ'. This is especially noted where the pigmentation of any floral part was a key to the recognition of any species.
To conclude, I must add that the data provided here has been collected during or towards the end of the flowering period, using mature specimens, when the weather is warmer, and after a prolonged spell of sunshine.
