I agree. I don't think it fits the description for E cucullatus because the leaf is so well developed at flowering. However, they were very tall. One that Anne found in the same area was around 30cm tall and the leaf was around 5.5 cm long. That one had a purplish tinge under the leaf.

Ok, you’ve convinced me. I thought E.culcullatus because there was no red on the leaf. I checked my records and we have seen them flowering in this area since 2021 with developed leaves but only occasionally with a leaf with a reddish underside.
