Occurs on Mt. Ophir, and on Hermitage Hill, in Perak. 
There is a sketch of it among Scortechini’s drawings.

Hab. Malacca: On trees at Mt. Ophir, 4,000 ped. alt. 
This is even more like an Aporum than B. aporoides, Reichb. f. 
The leaves are much longer and more pungent than in that 
species, and the lip is quite different in shape, the lateral lobes 
being very obscurely marked. 
I brought live plants from Mt. Ophir, where it appears rare, 
and flowered them in the Botanic Gardens at Singapore.
