Twenty-meter-high mixed montane forests of Podocarpus and Engelhardia are found from about 1,200 to 2,100 m, with lianas, epiphytes, and orchids such as Corybas, Corymborkis, and Malaxis very much in evidence. From Wordnik.com. [Lesser Sundas deciduous forests] Reference
Malaxis paludosa, secondarily shifted their labellum to an uppermost position. From Wordnik.com. [SEEDMAGAZINE.COM] Reference
Malaxis puts the labellum on top by continuing the rotation to a full 360 degrees. From Wordnik.com. [SEEDMAGAZINE.COM] Reference
The clinandrum is largely developed in Malaxis, and is of considerable importance in retaining the pollinia, which as soon as the flower opens are quite loose. From Wordnik.com. [More Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 2] Reference
But here comes my only point of novelty: in all orchids as yet looked at (even one with so simple a labellum as Gymnadenia and Malaxis) the vessels on the two sides of the labellum are derived from the bundle which goes to the lower sepal, as in the diagram.
