Would be great if more lowlander species were found. I am sure there are other spectacular lowland species like rafflesiana that have not been found yet.

If this is truely a new species, then N. rajah has met its match. It will no longer be the largest nep.

Weird? The link does not work for me?!

Then, I search for "largest species in Philippines" in that forum, I found it. It is such a beauty. How great if we have a lowlander that looks like that.
