 distally glabrous and wax-yellow, with pale membranous margins, its lower lip equaling upper, 

 with horizontally widened (6 mm. wide), moderately inflated, pubescent pouch that is marginally 

 dark purple and with saucer-like amber-yellow apex that is everted but seemingly unlobed ;

 pubescent, wax-yellow and glabrescent at apex, with wide white membranous margins, its 

 lower lip horizontally widened and moderately inflated, the pouch laterally finely pubescent 

 and with narrow black margins, internally glabrous, and with its apex seemingly unlobed but
