REMARKS
This species is recognized by the weakly keeled perianth without horn-like projections, the small, distant underleaves, and the obovate perianth. Previously known from the
type
in Sabah, Mt. Templer (
Mizutani 1981
) and subsequently reported from
China
(
Zhu
et al.
2005
). New to Peninsular
Malaysia
(
Terengganu
). The specimens from
Terengganu
are similar to the Chinese material in the entire margins of underleaf lobes and the absence of weak
Allorgella
-typed denticulations in the margins of leaf lobes; in the
type
of
Sabah
the underleaf lobes have 1-2 marginal teeth and the margin denticulation is distinct. This species grows on sandstone, tree trunks or living leaves (this study) in the understorey and canopy of lowland and montane rainforests at an elevation of
100-1000 m
(
Mizutani 1981
;
Zhu
et al.
2005
).
