The description for this orchid made by Ridly and publish as Habenaria xanthocheila. Specimen for basionym collected from Penang, and I believe the distribution spread to Peninsula Malaysia as mainland.
For botanis now this species register as Habenaria rhodocheila subsp. rhodocheila.I prefer to reintroduce the original name from Penang as Habenaria xanthocheila Ridl., 1896 as basionym publication in The Journal of Linnean Society, London, Volume 32 page 411 year 1896 as I attached the copy below this site.
Homotypic synonyms :
