Common Name or Meaning Warnement's Eria [American Judy Warnement, Director of the Botany Libraries, Harvard University Herbaria, for her contribution to to botanical research, not only through facilitation of literature, but in patiently suffering the requests of us who do not know it well enough]

Flower Size

Found in Sabah Borneo in riverine forests at elevations around 1000 to 1100 meters as a large sized, cool growing presumed epiphyte with slightly compressed, transversely elliptic in cross-section, laxly many leaved stems carrying ligulate-lanceolate to ligulate, apex inequally acutely to subacutely bilobed, thinly coriaceous, 11 veined leaves that blooms in the late winter and early spring on a lateral, emerging through apex of leaf sheath opposite leaf, .8 to .88" [20 to 22 mm] long, 3 to 4 flowered inflorescence with lanceolate, acute floral bracts and carrying flowers of unknown colors.

"Florally this species resembles E. jenseniana but it can be distinguished from the latter by its much longer leaves, flowers with broader petals, and labellum with a low, lamellate midkeel that ends on base of the epichile (vs. a thick midkeel that extends onto the basal half of the epichile)."
