Comments

Fl. 95mm wide, facing slightly upwards; perianth segments 38mm long, broadly ovate, blunt, prominently mucronate, white, spreading, a little concave, smooth, overlapping one-third to a half; the inner segments slightly narrower, a little inflexed, with margins incurved; corona 25mm long, bowl-shaped, lightly ribbed, very pale yellow, mouth expanded and heavily ribbed, with rim dentate. Some parts of the corona protrude above the rim, giving it a jagged appearance.

Origin of Name

Named after the appearance of the edge of the corona which has a very frizzy edge on the corona, almost like shark teeth.
