New orchid spiecies

Article in todays local paper. A new orchid spiecies has been found in Yosemite National Park, CA. It has tiny yellow flowers and has an odor of sweaty feet. (EUWWWWWWWW) It grows at higher elevations (6-9k feet) & is found in spring water areas. This was published recently in Madrono, a CA Botanical Society publication.

No name for it was mentioned in the article.
