 Allied to Eschweileria hellehorina, Boerl., of Borneo, but differing in the leaflets being

One specimen, however, has simple leaves, lanceolate and toothed as in E. helleborma. 



Harms, in Pflanzenfamilien, T. iii. Abt. 8. p. 31 (1894), has changed the name of this 



genus to Boerla(iiodendron on the ground that the name Eschweilera was formerly used
