usually a more slender petiole, the male flowers are larger and more racemose, 1.8. 
longer pedicelled, and the common peduncle is longer; the females also are longer . 
pedicelled, and have longer bracts, the stigma is very obscurely lobed, not stellately 
rayed as in Lobbiana. The female flowers of the Tenasserim specimens have very 
minute imperfect anthers, those of Borneo, as figured by Blume, have perfect ones. 
The Malaccan plant of Cuming described by A. De Candolle as H. philippinensis 
is from Malacca; it'has very slender male racemes, and may be Blume’s H. opine h
