Malacca. 



The Formosa and Luchu specimens agree exactly with the 

 figures cited, but the Malacca plant may be different. Cultivated 

 specimens of Oynura ovalis, DC, often bear this name.

As Sir Joseph Hooker points out (Fl. Brit. Ind. iii. p. 335), 

 the venation of the leaves of this species is very marked, and it 

 is quite distinct from the one he refers to G. Pseudochina. "What 

 name it should bear can only be determined by a thorough 

 revision of the genus. The same species was formerly cultivated 

 at Calcutta and in Mauritius, where it was confused with the 

 very different G. bicolor.

[Cacalia procumbens, Lour. (Fl. Cochinch. p. 485), is doubtingly 

 referred to Gynura sarmentosa, DC. (Prodr. vi. p. 298), a plant 

 which inhabits the Malay peninsula and archipelago eastward to 

 the Philippines, but we have seen no Chinese specimens.]
