Dear Alastair,

I think it is only rumours. This would be the first report of the Regiae
(sensu DANSER) to occur in peninsular Malaysia (I understand we are not
talking about cultivated plants, right?). There are similar rumours about
_N.maxima_ in or even W of Sumatra. I do not really believe any of these
(i.e., I do not know of any specimen).

Kind regards and a happy journey
Jan
