Remarks
doi:10.15517/lank.v20i2.43556 The specific epithet 'is from the Latin 'vere', truly, and 'aurum', gold, so named to raise awareness of the intrinsic value of wild and endangered orchids (even scarcer than the precious metal) under threat of mining activities, and due to the golden color of the flowers'.
