>Where is G.Kemul in Borneo?
G.Kemul (or Dutch, Kemoel) is in Kalimantan (the Indonesian S part of
Borneo), some distance E of the main mountain ridge which traverses the
island +/- from N to S.

I do not doubt this. But the plants are very similar to the (original)
_N.stenophylla_ of MASTERS (not of DANSER), and _N.stenophylla_ MAST. is
obviously the older name.

Yes, this seems to be the main distinguishing feature. But my question is
if specimens from N Borneo exist which have both, the crest and the boss
(i.e. belong to _N.maxima_ s.str.). I do know such specimens from E Borneo
only.
I am nearly entirely unbelieving as far as _N.maxima_ records from Sumatra
are concerned (mentioned once by ADAM & WILCOCK). But I have not seen the
respective specimens.
