Prowatt (Horsfield). 
A species near S. spicatum, but with much smaller leaves. In the above specimens 
the leaves are 8-44 in. long, 11-21 in. broad, on petioles 5-6 lines long, with about 8 or 
10 pairs of nerves ; rachis of raceme 12-18 in. long ; flowers frequently in pairs, 3—5 lines 
apart; sepals j line long; petals 4 lines long; ovary strigosely puberulous, yellowish. 
Miquel describes the leaves as being 23—4 in. long, j-1j in. broad, on petioles % in. long, 
with 7—10 pairs of nerves.
