This plant grows often in great abundance in wet swamps in 
thick jungle, usually with Calanthe curculigoides, Wall. It is 
a very sticky plant with green flowers.

Hab. Perak: Gunong Hijan, Thaiping Hills ! 
I have twice met with this little plant in the same spot, but 
it is not very common there. It grows on mossy banks on the 
highest part of the Gunong Hijan ridge. The leaves are very 
deep velvety green and waved along the edge; the flowers 
white and sweet-scented. The capsule is oblong elliptic + inch 
in length. It flowers in June.

Hab. Singapore: Bukit Timah, in dense jungle, rare! 
Flowering in September. 
Sungei Ujong: Bukit Danan! 
This was described and figured by Blume from Lake Babay, 
in Borneo. The Singapore plant differs slightly in having a 
silver central bar on the leaf. The lip is full of nectar, and 
bears two pairs of small plates, each ending in a point in the 
sac. 
It is called “‘ Poko Tumbah Utar,” and the leaves are used 
for poulticing sore legs by the natives.
