Thanks. I think they are distinct too but will need to examine the flowers closely. I'll pickle them. Leaf colouration is not a good character for species distinction, at least to a handful of Peninsular Malaysian and Bornean taxa I'm familiar with. Pity you didn't get to see any flowers in Brunei.

The highland “variant” matches the type (said to be from the mountain of Java) and also as illustrated in one of the early interpretations [as Corysanthes limbata] published in Curtis’s Botanical Magazine in 1863 (vol. 89 (Ser. 3 no. 19) pl. 5357).
