Chiriqui are apparently of the same species, but they are destitute of flowers.

There may be two or more species confused here, though authentic specimens of 
F. cylindracea and F. parvifiora seem to be united by wild specimens. It is a question 
of making several species or reducing all the forms to one. From the description, 
f. tetradactyla, Lindl., appears to belong to this species.
