Of course, Wendy! Lowland ssp is higher, sometimes double the upland size, the same with the leaves. The upland flowers are darker and the lips are heavily veined, while the lowland is lighter and the lip veins less crowded.
Better than a thousand words, a few pictures!!!

Here you can see the two lips compared:

Here, the upland race:

And here you can have an idea of the upland size:
