First, the presence of fenestrations is a clear (ha) give away of lueco.
(some rubra do show very faint fenestration, but IMHO you would not
generally notice it). Second, the presence of downward pointing hairs
on the underside of the lid. Third, the shape and position of the lid

parallel walls and a less expanded mouth. Fifth, in flowering plants
the flower color will not help, but the general petal shape - more ovoid
to ovate rather than longer strap shape suggests lueco. Sixth, the
mature plant size is likely to be larger in a h
