Easily recognised by its oak-shaped leaves and lemon-yellow 
flowers. The upper part of the stem and midribs are covered 
with long brown hairs, but the upper surface of the leaf is 
smooth, and of a deep green; the backs whitish-green. The 
calyx lobes are unusually broad and foliaceous. The corolla 
is primrose yellow. The capsule splits along one edge, forming 
a kind of gutter from which the seeds, lying loose, are washed 
out and carried away by a rush of rain. 
A pretty and striking plant, but very local and very difficult 
to cultivate. 
Divymocarpus (§ HetTeropea) crinita, Jack, in Malay. Misc., i. 
(1820) v. p. 1. 
This is, I think, distinct from D. platypus, C. B. Clarke, the 
leaves are much narrower and softer, of a deep velvety green, 
and the flowers are almost always tinted with violet. It takes 
the place of the lowland D. platypus, in the hill districts. It 
is called ‘‘ Sumbony Merah” by the natives. 
Singapore (Walker in herb. Delessert) is probably a wrong 
localisation. It is common on Penang Hill, the Thaiping Hills 
in Perak, Tahan River Hills in Pahang, Kedah Peak, and 
Bukit Sulu in Sungei Ujong. It is a native, too, of Borneo 
(Sarawak), and Mr. Hullett collected it in Lingga. 
D. pratyeus, 0. B. Clarke, in DC. Monog. Phan., v. p. 94. 
A broader-leaved, coarser plant, with rougher leaves of a 
light green. The flower is usually white, with yellow streaks 
in the throat, rarely tinted with violet. It grows in woods 
in the low country and is called “‘ Julong Rimbah”’ by the 
natives. 
It is abundant in Singapore, in Bukit Timah, Chan Chu 
Kang, &c., and I have it also from Gunong Pulai and Bukit 
Murdom, and Kampong Simpai, in Johore; from Ayer Panas 
in Malacca, from Bukit Tumiang in Sungei Ujong, and from 
Kwala Lumpur in Selangor. 
D. arrosanauinea, Ridl. in Trans. Linn. Soc., Ser. 1. (Bot.) iii. 
(1893) p. 328. 
This has somewhat the habit of D. crinita, Jack, but with 
crimson flowers and a yellow throat. 
It grows in woods in Pahang and Tringganu.
