Hosseus, ii. p. 386 records L. pulcher from Doi Sootep, 850 m. and 

 remarks that his plant is identical with Scortechini,28l from Perak. 

 This latter plant the writer has failed to trace in Herb. Kew but 

 judging from the geographical distribution of the two species he 

 thinks it probable that Hosseus' plant may be L. Parishii.
