FYI :
"former Malaysian Agriculture Research and Development Institute Cameron
Highlands station manager.
Embi has "hunted down" orchids in the district for the past 20 years and
discovered new species and variants...
He is also close to finishing cataloguing all the orchid species in the
highlands for the Regional Environmental Awareness Cameron Highlands
Society and hopes that it would be compiled into a book.
...
A familiar face among locals, the 58-year old Embi has been staying in the
highlands for 30 years...
He normally goes looking for orchids every two to three days.
...
His favourite species is ... Paphiopedilum barbatum and he has since
discovered about 100 variants..."
