Kwanetune (Krone ex Miquel). 
Miquel states that it is a rather common species, near P. ori- 
entale, Linn., but differing, among other things, in the shape of 
the leaves, especially in the more or less cordate base. The 
shape of the leaf of P. orientale is very variable, ranging from 
cuneate to cordate at the base; therefore it is almost certain 
that P. subcordatum, Miq., is the same species.
