Dear Jens,

> 1) Is there an easy way of identifying P. moranensis ?

If you accept the names _P. zecheri_, _P. rectifolia_, and _P.
potosiensis_ (you cannot accept P. orchidioides because this one is
illegitimate for formal reasons!), forget about unambiguous
identification. No way. You have to wait for the monographs by
Zamudio-Ruiz and Speta & Fuchs, respectively (which are announced
since more than five years already but will still take a lot of time
to appear, I suppose).

If you want to identify _P. moranensis_ sensu lato, look for the long
corolla spur, truncate, wedge-shaped lower corolla lobes (especially
the central lobe). If the leaf base of the summer leaves is not
petiolate nor marginally ciliate, and if the rosette is composed of
few large (compared to _P. esseriana_ or _P. ehlersiae_) leaves, then
you have _P. moranensis_.

Kind regards
Jan
