Description
A recently described ‘good’ species and very narrow endemic known only around Baypazari in N. C. Turkey.
The flower colour is a bright bluish-violet with white teeth around the apex. The flower spike is conspicuously very dense. There are only two or three leaves, these are wide and arching in cultivation though they are prostrate in the wild. One notable distinction apart from the flowers is its huge and unique seed capsules which can be up to 1 cm in diameter.
Cultivated plants raised from material originally found very close to, but not quite at, the type locality. This is correctly identified material, undoubtedly true, and at a fraction of the price it is available elsewhere.
Named for the father of Turkish Botanist M. B. Guner, Professor Adil Guner, also a Turkish Botanist.
