Quick Characteristics:

Cypella armosa Ravenna is found in Argentina and Paraguay in grasslands, humid to inundated, with altitude records ranging from 50 to 500 m. It grows to 60 cm high and flowers late spring to summer. The flowers are yellow. The outer segments are somewhat reflexed and the inner segments recurved, marked yellow-orange and brown-black. The yellow style arms are strongly divergent; adaxial crests are longitudinally twisted at the middle portion. The first five photos were taken by Mary Sue Ittner. The fifth photo was taken of a plant grown at Telos Rare Bulbs. The last photo was taken by Bill Dijk.
The photos below were added as Cypella exilis and described as growing in Argentina. But that species does not grow in Argentina and looks different. These photos are probably a pale yellow form of this species growing in grassland. Photos by Germán Roitman.
