Dear Eduardo:

So good to hear from you.

This Schismatoglottis (to be described as S. clivemarshii) grows on very odd melange outcroppings composed of basalt, granite, deep water sediments and nickel-rich ultrabasics in a semi-hard clay matrix.

It is interesting to note that the two species to which S. clivemarshii is most closely related are both limestone obligates.

See attached.

On the subject of complex blade-patternings, here on Borneo by far the most complex and variable markings occur on species from ultrabasics.

See attached.

Great to be in touch Eduardo

Very best as ever

Pete
