Help with some ID

These were spotted at Lambir Natl Park near Miri. Does anyone have any ideas?

Here's also a cluster of Coelogyne foerstermanii by the river with some in flower. It's a great place for orchids. Wish I had more time to explore or had gone with orchid-inclined folks ; )

Very nice.. First is some member of the Sarcanthinae, maybe Pomatocalpa sp. Second is Claderia viridiflora, a rambling rhizomatous semi-terrestrial. Nice shot of the foerstermannii, I have a piece that refuses to bloom. Also heard similar complaints from some other friends who grow this species. Naturally it grows on very high positions on top of large trees so may be subjected to a more severe dry period than when cultivated. Who knows?

Let me know if you are headed to Kuala Lumpur, I can bring you around.

Yes, I'll PM you on my next trip. I usually spend a few days in KL.

Thanks for your help with the IDs.
