NoteAn EXCEPTIONAL large specimen of the RARE and supremely beautiful QUEENSLAND FORM of this endemic south-eastern Australian species. The species is rarer in Queensland than in more southerly localities. RARE LOCALITY, now protected, with no fresh specimens being available in future. Rich cream ground, decorated with large, free-form maculations of reddish burgundy, and with an exquisite yellow-orange accent at the umbilicus. Fully mature: solid for size, with greatly thickened, gracefully sculpted apertural lip.
