I formally suggested that this is O. chingii based only on photos. However, I knew that the dried specimen (MW0735095) has extremely large (long) leaves. The specimen is closest to O. fruticulosus Aver., N.Tanaka & K.S.Nguyen judging from various respects, though it differs in some characters such as anther connectives. Further study is required to properly assess the taxonomic status. My tentative identification is O. fruticulosus (s.lat.).
