    This is not Centropogon granulosus, it has much longer sepals. There are many species in this genus with similar flowers and I am not sure which IDs are reliable. Can you upload an overview with some leaves?

        Thanks, I don't think it is Centropogon ferrugineus either and I cannot find a good match. Different plants are identified as the same species even in herbaria. Posted 9 years ago
