Note.
Borneocola salahuddinianus
is unique amongst the Bornean species with its broadly elliptic or ovate lamina held by a long slender petiole. It is doubtful that
Borneocola salahuddinianus
is a lithophyte as observed by
Meekiong et al. (2011)
. The plants are more of an opportunist growing on humus-rich substrate accumulated on the rocks.
