Notes
I have been unable to separate the material cited by Vollesen from Mozambique material of typical O. kirkii with entire leaves annotated by Robson. Vollesen states some specimens have short anthers 3.5–4 mm long, shorter than the filaments and ± cordate leaf-bases and others have anthers 5.5 mm long, longer than the filaments and rounded leaf-bases but I have found filaments 4–7 mm long in one inflorescence.
