Schismatoglottis tahubangensis View in CoL A.Hay & Hersc.

Material examined. MALAYSIA – Pantai Barat • Just outside Kinabalu Park, 100 m to Tahubang River along route to Marai Parai , 11,000 m elev.; 12 September 1993; J. Nais, Dolois, Harry & Masius SP 05312 (holo, KEP) .

Identification. Schismatoglottis tahubangensis somewhat resembles Schismatoglottis platystigma M.Hotta ( Brunei) in having discoid stigmas and relatively small thecae on the edge of a broad connective. However, it is readily distinguished from that species by the presence of interpistillar staminodes, the subsessile stamens with a much higher connective and slender spadix ( Hay and Herscovitch 2003).

Distribution and ecology. Endemic to Sabah. Known only from the type locality, Tahubang river, Kinabalu Park. On a steep slope in unspecified vegetation type at ca. 1,100 m elev.
