Hab. Perak: on a bank by the road, Hermitage Hill, Kwala 
Kangsa Valley ; a single plant (descr. ex sicco) ! 
The only specimen I have seen was nearly out of flower, and 
the pollen had all gone. It isa tall plant of the habit of Goodyera 
rubens, Blume, and differs from other Heterias in the short: bracts, 
thin textured glabrous perianth. The lip and petal contain 
many bundles of rhaphides. The anther is remarkably long 
and narrow. The stelidia very large, flattened and enlarged 
upwards ; the rostellar lobes are quite short.

This rare plant has been re-discovered by Mr. Hullett in the 
Island of Lingga, on the mountain called Gunong Dai, and by 
Mr. Curtis in Penang. Blume collected it on Mt. Salak, in 
Java.

Hab. Singapore: Tanglin! Reservoir Woods ! 
Pahang: Tahan Woods! 
Perak : Scortechini, &e. 
All the plants which I have seen were of a pale straw colour 
with pink dots. It is a very difficult plant to find, owing to 
its very inconspicuous colouring. In Singapore and Pahang it 
grows in dry woods, among dead leaves.
