Clemens not only extended the range of this very variable and 



widely distributed species, but amplified the number of orchid 



genera now known to be represented in Borneo.

 Rolfe is known only from Mount Kinabalu; G. rostrata Ridl., 

 the third species, was originally collected at Sarawak by Hewitt.
