sea level (red area is indicating the probable
distribution area).
 Summer

view
of a flower of P. jackii (in culture). Typical
for this species are the blue or blue-violet petals of
the flower. The petals of the upper lip are normally a
little les wider compared to the petals of the lower
lip. On the inner surface of the tube there are parallel
running violet veins.

view
of a flower (in culture). The inner surface of the broad
entrance of the campanulate corolla tube is densely
clothed in white hairs.

view
of a flower of P. jackii (in culture). Not only
on the inside but also on the outer surface of the white
corolla tube there are violet, parallel running
veins visible. The spur has a white colour in the upper
part starting from the tube, then gets more light green
towards the obtuse tip. The outside of the spur is only
sporadically covered with stipitate glandular hairs.
