03FE87DAFFE86D39FD2391DD63A7FBCB.taxon	description	Flowering & fruiting: Flowering from May to September; fruiting not seen. Habitat: Grow epiphytically on tree trunks or on small branches in broad-leaved forests in Vietnam. Not common. Distribution: Vietnam, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, Sulawesi, Sumatra and Java. Specimens examined: PENINSULAR MALAYSIA, Perak, Tea gardens, 1892, H. N. Ridley 2883 (K 000827341 digital image!); Lower camp Gunong, Batu Pateh, L. Jr. Wray 1173 (K 000364362 digital image!). VIETNAM, Khanh Hoa province, Hon Ba Nature Reserve, 25.06.2014, Truong Ba Vuong & Mang Van Lam BV 171 (PSU); Lam Dong province, Bao Loc district, B’La commune, 15.05.2019, Truong Ba Vuong & Truong Quang Tam BV 484 (VNM). Notes: Plants recorded from Vietnam differ from Thai specimens in the shape of the floral bract (oblong, apex rounded, with a small mucro in the middle vs. ovate to ovate-triangular, apex acute), broader dorsal sepals and petals (Chantanaorrapint et al., 2020), stellate hairs on sepals (vs. simple hairs) (Chantanaorrapint pers. comm., 2020). M. latifolia can be easily distinguished from M. oblitterata by the presence of a claw between epichile and hypochile of the latter. Its discovery in Vietnam extends its geographic range from the Malesian region to South of Thailand (Narathiwat and Yala) and Vietnam. All the specimens of this species housed at L (L 1529972, L 1529971, L 1529975, L 1529969, L 1529968, L 1529970, L 1529974, L 1529973 L 1529976) have been wrongly determined as Trichotosia latifolia (Blume) Seidenf.
