I checked it now. I clicked 'image:isao7'. U.jamesoniana appeared....!
I think it was caused by my poor English skill. I will ask Rick to correct
them.
Yes, you are right. U.campbelliana has red/orange flower. It is beautiful. I
think Rick will put the pictures on the CP Data Base.

Thank you very much!

Kind regards from Japan

P.S. U.jamesoniana (Ms.Shibata found) does not look like
U.buntingiana(according to Taylor's book).
