Gunong Tahan, 5000-6000 ft. Tree 11 inches in diameter, 25 feet high, 
flowers greenish (5468). Shrub 8-10 feet, in fruit (5526). 
This fine plant is represented by two specimens, one in flower and one in 
fruit, which evidently belong to the same species. The leaves are bright 
brown when dry. The main nerves ascend and curving upwards at the 
margin connect with each other by a loop, and the intermediate nervules 
are conspicuously reticulated. The long lax panicle of short branches is 
not like that of any other species known to me. The flowers are quite 
those of a Dehaasia, some unisexual and some bisexual. The stigma is 
remarkably thick and rounded for the genus.
