Hi, Sorry but I am replying to my own post. I just discover that Kew & IPNI has both names in their monocot checklist at per http://www.kew.org/searchepic/searchpage.do
I found that Den trantuanii description : Perner & X.N.Dang, Orchidee (Hamburg) 54: 220 (2003) so apparently it's an earlier publication (I still appreciate a scan copy if possible). But another question came to my mind... are these 2 names referring to the same species? Thanks again.
