Dear Ray,

I WILL take pics of the malaysian one. It is too stunning to miss! The name
is a mystery. Following Ridley's key (F. of Malaysia) I end up at Ar. fili-
forme. Undoubdtedly the thing is allied to that but all clones of filiforme
I have form real clumps, with many leaves and inflors at the same time, from
a well-branching rhizome. The Malaysian one though has a much more robust
rhizome, which hardly branches and one leaf accompanies one inflor. So the
whole thing seems to have a different growth habit. I also noticed that
the ovaries are much longer than in "regular" filiforme. Could it be......?

I will try to get seed set next season. This season was dedicated to pre-
serving inflors for identification etc.

Cheers, Wilbert
