Species 2 v. 3, Arehipelagi Malayani incolae. Speciem typicam Amboinensem non vidimus, sed 

 descriptio fusior Haaskarlii quoad characteres genericos omnino Stomatocalyci, Muell. Arg., convenit. 

 Specimina Borneeneia a Mueil. Arg. cum Malaccensibus juncta, nobis specific© differre videntur. 

 Baillon, Hist. PI. v. 229, genus totum in Carumbio {Homalantho) includit, nobis tamen, quoad 

 plantam J quae sola nota, differre videtur habitu, inflorescentia et staminibus.
