 * Oppose. The picture is nothing special, and is too busy with all the sticks and stuff in the background.  Also, I think that there is a slight motion blur.   Gphoto talk  16:12, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose I see motion blur too, and the lighting isn't great. The subject is stationary so it should be possible to get a crisper shot.  Great plant though! --Bridgecross 17:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think its motion blur. Just fuzziness from being just outside the focus. I agree that the photo is not spectacular but the subject is somewhat unique - I have no idea if it is indigenous to only high altitude Borneo but it is still not something you find in your backyard.

 * N. villosa is endemic to Kinabalu National Park. Its natural distribution is restricted to Mount Kinabalu and Mount Tambuyukon at an elevation of 2400-3200 m. NepGrower 18:14, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Support. The subject is very rare, but the quality of the photo is a bit lacking. Nautica Shad e  s  07:00, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
