Ternstreemia Lowii is nearest allied to T. bancana, Miq. (Adinandra bancana, King), 
and T. coriacea, Scheffer, but distinguished from both by the generally very shiny veinless 
leaves, which in a dry state often look as if they were varnished ; from the former also by 
the more terete and comparatively slender branches and the recurved and more slender 
pedicels; and from the latter by the smaller and very thick sepals, by more globose and 
smaller berries and more numerous and smaller seeds with acute angles.

On the Tampassuk River near Kiau, alt. 2000 feet ( Haviland, 1373). 
Distribution: Borneo. 
A. excelsa comes very near to A. acuminata, Korth., particularly as this is represented 
by Korthals's type; but it differs, in my opinion, sufficiently in the venation of the leaves, 
especially in the very characteristic marginal arching of the nerves.
