Thanks. I think they are distinct too but will need to examine the flowers closely. I'll pickle them. Leaf colouration is not a good character for species distinction, at least to a handful of Peninsular Malaysian and Bornean taxa I'm familiar with. Pity you didn't get to see any flowers in Brunei.

The highland “variant” matches the type (said to be from the mountain of Java) and also as illustrated in one of the early interpretations [as Corysanthes limbata] published in Curtis’s Botanical Magazine in 1863 (vol. 89 (Ser. 3 no. 19) pl. 5357).

Here are 2 entities known as a very variable taxon, #Corybas pictus #Orchidaceae. [Left] A lowland “variant” from Borneo, and [Right] A clone very common in cultivation and likely a highland “variant”. Do you think they are the same? Please let me know what you think 🤔

It's a weird tree anyway and then it's also a Eugenia in a Syzygium majority area

📣 Out Now! #Eugenia venteri (sect. Jossinia), likely the first flagelliflorous #Eugenia (#Myrtaceae) ever recorded in the 🌏, is found on Manus Island, #PNG. This amazing tree produces flowers on the ground and gets pollinated and dispersed by native 🐀 link.springer.com/article/10.100…
