I noticed the reinwardtiana upper look very similar (shape and peristome) to the upper of gracilis, interesting...

Re: intermediate highland neps
 

we can put 2-3 nos. of gracilis inside the reinwardtiana:biggrin::laugh:

Re: intermediate highland neps
 

Haha... actually, the gracilis I saw is pretty similar in size to the reinwardtianas in your pics...

Here a pic that I took recently of a gracilis upper
Attachment 685

Sorry should have use an object for size comparison, can use the size of sphanum moss in the backgroud to make a rough estimate :blush:?? Will bring a measuring tape like what you did in your outings.... :laugh: I learn as I go... :blush:

Thanks for sharing Robert.The Gracilis upper could be big.I have seen some big Gracilis uppers at Kledang Hill.
