INTRODUCTION

Lowiaceae (Zingiberales),with a single genusOrchidantha N.E.Br.,isasmallfamilyofabout21speciesrestrictedtoAsia.A more detailed general introduction to Lowiaceae was given in Trần&Leong-Škorničková2010.RecentworkonLowiaceae hasuncoveredseveralnewtaxafromcontinentalAsia(Trần&Leong-Škorničková2010,Leong-Škorničková2014,Leong-Škorničkováetal.2014,Zouetal.2017)aswellasonenewspecies fromBorneo (Syauqina et al. 2016).Eight species(andonevariety)ofthefamilyLowiaceae are found north of the Isthmus of Kra throughout the Indochinese floristic region andintosouthernmostChina.Fivedifferentspeciesoccuronthe Malay Peninsula and eight species are currently known to beendemicinBorneo.Orchidantha borneensis N.E.Br., thetypespeciesof thege-nus, wastheveryfirstOrchidanthadescribed(Brown1886).TheCompagnieContinentaled’Horticulture,Ghent,Belgium,introducedaliveplantfromBorneotoEuropewithoutpreciseinformationofthelocalityoforigin.Thetypespecimenmadefrom this cultivated plant, however, is well-preserved and the descriptionissufficientlydetailedtoestablishthatO. borneen-sis is a small species with light-coloured free and spreading sepalsandadarkpurplelabellumandpetals.Unfortunately,Larsen(1998)confusedtheunderstandingofthemorphologyof O. borneensiswhenheincludedaphotographbyJosefBogner.This photograph is of a cultivated plant, originally collected in 1994atMatang,Sarawak,Borneo,floweringatMunichBotani-calGardenin1997(acc.no.94/1211).Westudiedpressedher-bariummaterialofthisplant(Bogner 2146,AAU(includingfouradditionalphotographs),M).Duetothelargersizeoftheflowerswith white petals and a labellum with pale yellow apex, we have to conclude that this material does not match the type and origi-nal description of O. borneensis.Instead,Bogner’scollectionisverysimilar, ifnotconspecific,withtherecentlydescribedO. ranchanensisSyauqina&Meekiong,alsofromSarawak.

New collections from Matang at the eastern side of Kubah NP (whereBognercollected94/1211betweenthenationalpark headquartersandtheRedBridge,Bognerpers.comm.),and elsewhere in Sarawak are needed to completely understand the morphological variation and distribution of O. ranchanensis as well as establish the likely origin of O. borneensis.Seven species of OrchidanthaweresubsequentlydescribedfromBorneo:Larsen(1993),Nagamasu&Sakai(1999),Peder- sen(2001),Syauqinaetal.(2016).Mostoftheseareadequatelydescribed and illustrated,making identification of any newtaxauncomplicatedandallarewelllocalised.TwointerestingOrchidanthaspecies,firstcollectedbyADPduringfieldworkinSarawak in 2003, aredescribedand illustratedbelowas O. micrantha and O. megalantha,respectively.Thisbringsthetotal number of Bornean species to ten with one species known from Brunei, four species each from Sabah and Sarawak and, as mentioned above, O. borneensis,unlocalised.Thedescrip-tions of the vegetative characters are based on li ving plants and dry herbarium specimens, measurements of all flower parts weremadefromherbariummaterialpreserved inspirit.ThestyleofdescriptionfollowsrecentworksofLeong-Škorničkovácited above, with general plant descriptive terminology follow-ingBeentje(2016).

Inaddition,O. laotica has lamellate yellow stripes at the base of the labellum, while the flowers of O. stercorea are larger than those of O. micrantha.

Conservation status — Orchidantha megalantha is reported from one population on a sandy shallow hill with several indi-vidualswithinanationalparkareawithnoperceivedthreats.As the number of mature individuals is < 1 000, it may be con-sidered‘Vulnerable’(VU)D1(IUCNStandardsandPetitionsSubcommittee2017).

Note — Orchidantha megalantha resembles O. holttumii K.Larsen(Fig.6)bytheheightnotexceeding1.5mandthepresenceofpetiolateleavesinbothyoungandadultindividuals.Theshapeoftheflowerisalsosimilar;thetwolateralsepalsoverlapping below the labellum and the dorsal sepal arching over it, resulting in claw-like appearanceof the flower.Theflower of O. megalantha is, however, twice as big as that of O. holttumii, the sepals are bright yellow-green and stigma is purple(comparedtopalegreenishsepalsandwhitestigmainO. holttumii).Sofar,allspeciesofOrchidantha are known to beveryrestrictedintheirdistribution(Sakai&Inoue1999).Thedifferenceinthesizeandcolourationoftheflowerislikelyanadaptationtoaspecificpollinator,mostlikelyadungbeetle,aspreviously reported for other species of Bornean Orchidantha (Sakai&Inoue1999,Pedersen2001).
