Common Name or Meaning Low's Anoectochilus [English Nurseryman 1800's]

Flower Size

Found in Borneo as a terrestrial orchid that blooms in the summer in situ

CAUTION Kew has this name as a synonym of Dossina marmorata which I feel cannot be right if the photo is correct for the species. I need the original publication to make a final judgement

Synonyms Anoectochilus lowii var. virescens B.S.Williams 1862; Macodes lowii (R.H. Torr. ex Loudon) J.J. Wood 1984
