Abstract

We report the occurrence of Didymoplexiella trichechus (J.J. Sm.) Garay and Didymoplexis cornuta J.J. Sm. in Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia. They were considered to be endemic to Sumatra and Java, respectively, but were discovered during a botanical expedition in the Maliau Basin Conservation Area. We also determined the collection of Didymoplexis cornuta to represent a novel variety, D. cornuta var. maliauensis Tsukaya, M. Suleiman & H. Okada.

Item Type: Article
Additional Information: Didymoplexis cornuta was thought to be endemic to Java, but we recently reported D. cornuta from West Kalimantan (Tsukaya & Okada 2012b). Didymoplexis cornuta var. betung-kerihunensis lacks the small, horn-like appendage at the base of the claw (Smith 1925), which is characteristic of the specimen from Sabah and of D.cornuta var. cornuta. The collection from West Kalimantan lacks ridges on the lip. Based on morphological differences and disjunct distribution, we propose the plants from Maliau Basin to be an undescribed variety of Didymoplexis cornuta , which here name var. maliauensis . Didymoplexiella trichechus was thought to be endemic to Sumatra, while five species of Didymoplexiella are known from Borneo (Wood &Cribb, 1994). Didymoplexiella trichechus now makes sixth species known from Borneo. Considering the close relationship of Didymoplexiella and Didymoplexis.
