Notes. Several specimens in ABD have no label data and could be original material. 
Microchirita tubulosa is characterised by a white corolla with a ventral yellow stripe 
and lateral purple markings (blotches or stripes; if stripes, sometimes multiple on each 
side). It is most similar to Microchirita marcanii and M. luteola (see discussion under 
each), but differs in the corolla colour pattern and the smaller flower.
