serrate, woolly pubescent, with stiffer red hairs on the veins, 3—4 inches long or much

Near Pekan. I have this also from Gunong Brumban in Sungei Ujong, under the 
name of “ Poko Dulang Dulang,” and it is common in the Thaiping Hills. Seemann’s 
plant came from the Khasiya Mountains. I have not been able to compare it with this 
species, and it is probably distinct.
