Remarks. The species was previously known from Selangor ( Hippa 2006) and Sarawak ( Hippa 2008a), Malaysia and Thung Kai and Khao Chong Botanic Gardens, Trang Province, Thailand ( Hippa and Papp 2007). Some of the new specimens are difficult to distinguish from M. calcarata Hippa or M. transversa Hippa , which may indicate that all the three nominal species are conspecific.
