syn. -

 
distribution:

Madagascar

 
This is one of the dimorphic species, that are only known from Madagascar so far.

The stems seem to show a almost flesh-like colouration.

The flowers are really sensational, their lower part and the flower-tube are beige coloured, the petals in contrast are golden yellow and show some quite long dark reddish brown hair in the lower two thirds.
