However, a short time later he saw a copy of the same drawing in Lindley’s collection (see illustration #5). It was this Korthals illustration that Reichenbach based his 1860 description of P. sumatrana. Charles Curtis (1853-1928) found the plant in 1881 in the hot, damp orests of Palembang area growing on tree trunks, well-shaded, overhanging rivers in close association with P. violacea. Korthals published his drawing sometime before 1839 (undoubtedly 1833). It was in fact, described as a Phalaenopsis inscriptiosinensis and not the species currently known under the name of Phalaenopsis sumatrana. The name P. acutifolia is a printer’s typo error at the beginning of the description, where the printer used italics instead of roman type for the description. Primary Hybrids: 8.
