Aporum rosellum (Ridl.) Rauschert, Feddes Repert., 1983

Orchid of Borneo Under: Aporum , Central Borneo , Tanjung Puting National Park

Section Aporum

Eksistensi Aporum rosellum (Ridl.) Rauschert. di pulau Kalimantan secara resmi di catat dan dipublikasi oleh Elmer Drew Merril di tulisannya berjudul A bibliographic enumeration of Bornean plants halaman 164 yang terbit tahun 1921. Kala itu anggrek ini dicatat sebagai species endemic Borneo yang berhabitat di Selabat, (Haviland cult. in. horto bot. Singapore), Sarawak. Sarawak adalah satu negara bagian di utara pulau Kalimantan yang kini jadi wilayah Negeri Malaysia.

Saya telah melampirkan deskripsi dan copy sketsa asli yang dibuat oleh J. J. Smith yang dapat dipelajari oleh siapapun yang berminat mempelajari anggrek ini. Lampiran itu beserta area distribusi dan photo bentuk tanamannya bisa di lihat di tautan LINK dan LINK.

Etimology anggrek species ini berasal dari ciri-ciri bunganya yang berwarna seperti bunga mawar liar yaitu merah muda atau merah jambu (latin, rosea = merah muda). Tahun 1983 anggrek ini ditransfer ke genus yang lebih cocok dan tepat yaitu Aporum section Aporum oleh Rauschert.
