I would say that it’s Z. candida but it has larger flatter flowers that do not bloom in the same time period as the candida in the area; approximately a month later with exposure to to the same rainfall events.
Ridge of papillae on upper surface of lower lip obvious.
S. lacera gracilis or S. parksii
Shortleaf pine savanna restoration.
Ridge of papillae on lower lip - tough to photograph, but visible in 3rd shot.
Found 7 or 8 stalks in fruit along the trail not 6 to 10 feet from the main path. I had never seen this flowering at Bell but I don't often walk the trail in July when they are likely blooming. I don't think these were known for Bell. I did not walk up the slope further looking for more. Will check here next July.
