" A Bornean plant, in the possession of Johu Knowles, Esq., of 

 Manchester, which has lately produced its flowers, proves to be a 

 narrow-leaved variety of this species, with deep purple sepals and 

 petals, and yellow ribs to the lip. It is far handsomer than the 

 older varieties. The same form is before us, collected by Cuming 

 in the Philippines. The species seems to be a native of all the 

 insular parts of Asia within the tropic." Lindley, I. c.
