The Malaccan specimens have much narrower leaves, with acute bases and slanting 
nerves, than the Perak ones, which are broad and agree well with J ack's description 
of the Sumatran plant. Jack's character of the flowers is imperfect; he does not 
describe the bracts nor distinguish the sexes; he says the perianth is 4 or 5-partite, 
stamens 4 or 5, ovary 3- or 4-celled, stigmas 3 or 4. The bracts he describes as small 
broad and on the pedicel below its subdivision; this presumably applies to the fem. 
flower. It is the onl ecies with disti h this is not
