You are welcome Dan.
Anymore ginger spottings from Borneo needed to be identified just call me.
Thanks for the info about them. I'll keep an eye out. Just shows you can never really trust the internet. I wasn't doubting you but it was nice to see the page of the book, thanks again Chun.
Oh No! Not phylodiversity.net again.
The contributors to that websites are students who are doing research in Borneo as part of their university course. Since they are just students, they are not professionals yet. A year ago I discovered this page http://phylodiversity.net/bb09/index.php...
created by one of the students. Her jumping spider identifications are inaccurate. She even identify several non-Salticids as Salticidae. I emailed her but she never replied nor updated the page.
Here is the scanned copy page from Gingers Of Borneo.

It's distribution range is from Kalimantan to Sarawak while the student in phylodiversity.net claims that she found it in Maliau Basin, Sabah. That is definitely out of the species range.
I believe your ID with the book, I was just looking for an image online. I found this link, but it looks a bit different.

Identifying gingers has been made so much easier with my new guide book.
Now I am unstoppable!
