Banca, Horsfield! Herb. Brit. Mus. l 
A specimen of Crepidium Rheedii, Blume, named in Blume’s 
handwriting, exists in the British Museum. Unfortunately it is 
only in fruit. It is much like the Banca plant, but the stem is 
shorter and leaves more crowded, and the scape is no longer 
than the leaves.
