No flabellata is not here in Hong Kong. The plant which I have been checking to me seems new, but Dr Stephan is skeptic as he thinks, its very strange that we already have three Cheirostylis endemic to Hong Kong which I am myself unable to digest!!! I was just checking some, one of them looks like what we have Cheirostylis seidenfadeniana in India. Pankaj
