South TENASSERIM, Kurz, Helfer. Sixcarorr, Penanc, and MALACCA, Wallich, 
Maingay, &e. (Kew Distrib. §83),—Disrrm, Java, Borneo. 
Very near indeed to U. Griffithianum, and probably not specifically distinet, but 
the stipules are always very narrow, the leaves (which vary greatly in shape and 
from 3-10 in. in length) have more regular transverse veins, and the corolla-lobes 
appear to be obtuse. The leaves are either gradually or abruptly narrowed into 
narrow ligulate points sometimes nearly 1 in. long; the cyme, peduncles and pedicels 
are sometimes pubescent, and the flowers vary much in size ; hence more than ono 
species may be confounded under the above synonyms and numbers. Helfer's 
Tenasserim plant has longer petioles, sessile cymes, and a hairy midrib beneath ; it 
more resembles Griffithianum, but has very narrow stipules. 
** Branches more or less hairy (sometimes glabrate in sp. 6, 7, and 8).
