Further, the shape of dorsal petal and its keel is distinct in this new taxon which is easily visible at first glance. All these character combinations along with its undisturbed habitat (localized distribution) and micromorphology (prominent seed hair banding pattern and pollen morphology) further support the status of newly described species.
