Crepidium mieczyslawii Marg. 2001 Photo by © Peter O'Byrne and The Malesian Journal Orchid Photo Website

Common Name Mieczyslaw's Crepidium [Polish Ochid Enthusiast current]

Flower Size .16" [4 mm]

Found in Sabah and Sarawak Borneo in hill and upper montane forest at elevations of 1000 to 2100 meters as a miniature to small sized, warm to cold growing terrestrial with branching, superposed, fleshy, cylindrical, green often stained purple stems carrying broadly elliptic, acute, margins distinctly undulate-crisped, bright green covered in irregular dark purple blotches, abruptly narrowing below into the fleshy, purple, petiolate base leaves that blooms in the spring on a terminal, erect, purple, 4.4" [11 cm] long, laxly to 15 flowered inflorescence with sevaral non-resupinate flowers open at any one time

Within my framework this species would be better placed within Malaxis but as yet it has not been described as such.
