Notes.
Borneocola calcicola
is the largest amongst the
Borneocola
species.
Poulsen and Searle (2005)
observed that the distichous inflorescence is one of the character
istics
of the plant. However, a recent collection of
Borneocola calcicola
, Sam FRI 50290, from Seromah, Bau, showed spirally arranged floral bracts. There was a mixture of spirally and distichously arranged floral bracts in its population in Bau, Sarawak.
