Psychilis monensis, an orange yellow form of this variable species, photographed "in situ" very deep into the interior of Mona Island.



This orchid is locally common, and sometimes downright abundant in certain parts of Mona Island.  This species produces flowers that can vary in color and markings between different plants.   This particular plant has orange yellow floral segments framing a richly colored lip.
