Yo Mark! Glad you enjoy my ramblings.
Ok mate, let's recap on the 4 species found in Peninsular M'sia;
M-acuminata subsp malaccensis - All over the country!
M-violascens - Only along the Western part of the peninsular. From North to South.
M-acuminata subsp truncata - On the Central highlands of the Malaysian Main Range. This mountain strip max at about 10,000asl acts as a divider.
M-gracilis - Certain areas of the Eastern side of the peninsular. So far from the info I gathered from the locals, the Purple color form is
rarer than the White form.
So far I have done Threads on 3 of them and I can't wait for the rains to clear so I can go and nail the 2 color forms of the
M-gracilis on the Eastern side.
