Hi bernabu...this one here looks like B. retusiusculum to me. Do you have photos showing the plant & inflorescence? Can't be sure for now. Regards, Daniel.
You are right Daniel
Thanks...I will have to try and stay more focused and remember what the taxonomist tell us about colour and markings on flowers. I have posted a picture of this species.
