34 LXXV. RUBIACEZ. (J. D. Hooker.) [ Uncaria. 
species this name applies; it is a native of Penang, and stated to have acid foliage. 
Wallich does not include it in his Catalogue. Miquel (F7. Ind. Bat. ii. 145) records 
it as a native of Sumatra, Java, Borneo, and the Moluccas, and from his allusion to 
its often monstrous state from Borneo he probably refers to it the U. ovalifolia. 
U. CIRRHIFLORA, Roxb. Fl. Ind. i. 520, doubtfully referred in FI. Ind., ed. Carey d 
Wa. ii. 129 to U, pedicellata, is not determinable.
