On ' Yunnan Orchid ' is mossy orchid.
Epiphytic on tree trunks in forests; ca. 1500 m. S Yunnan [Malay Archipelago (Borneo), Malaysia (Peninsular), Singapore].
The plants from Yunnan are very similar to the original description of the species and the descriptions and diagrams of R. E. Holttum ( 1953 ) and G. Seidenfaden ( 1992 ) in terms of body shape, inflorescence and other characteristics, but the lip structure is more complex, and we still identify it as the same species. |
