Rhomboda-moulmeinensis-2022-10-12 *SITF determined this plant to be Rhomboda fanjingensis, not Rhomboda moulmeinensis (Nov 2022); the origin of this plant was in China; the key difference between the two species is in the epichile; R. moulmeinensis has more or less rectangular lobes with denticulation on the apexes; R. fanjingensis has an epichile that is subquadrate with rounded apexes and no denticulation as is this plant; the leaves also match that of the pressed plant in Kew's Plants of the World-Online; there is a good image in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhomboda that clearly shows the epichile of R. moulmeinensis.*
