Scaphochlamys pennipicta

The species was first collected at Fraser’s Hill in 1923, and the type remained the only collection from the hill station (Holttum 1950, Sam et al. 2010). The subpopulation in Fraser’s Hill has not been sighted since then. An intensive flora survey in Fraser’s Hill has not recovered this extremely rare species (Kiew 1998). There is a possibility that the subpopulation at the Fraser's Hill might be found in lower elevation. The subpopulation in Krau Wildlife Reserve in Pahang, was discovered in 2007 and this finding has greatly extended its range, from lowland Dipterocarp forest (110–262 m elevation) in Krau Wildlife Reserve to lower montane forest in Fraser’s Hill (1,212 m) (Sam et al. 2010). It is very unusual among the Scaphochlamys species to be found in such large altitudinal range, most are restricted only to a particular habitat. There is a possibility that the subpopulation at the Fraser's Hill might be found in lower elevation.
