This plant varies somewhat in size of leaves and in the number of cells 

 in the ovary. A large-leaved form, rather more tomentose and apparently 

 with entire lanceolate stipules, is the var. latifolia King, I.e. 124, and has been 

 met with at Goping in Perak by Kunstler. A form with 3-celled ovary and 

 oblong fruit occurs with the ordinary form. This is the plant described 

 as E. Scortechinii King, I.e. 124, and has been met with in Singapore on 

 Bukit Timah and Bukit Mandai, Bindings at Bruas (Burn-Murdoch) and 

 Perak at Relau Tujor by Wray, and at Ulu Bubong by Kunstler, and Sarawak, 

 Borneo. Merrill, Journ. Roy. As. Soc. S. Br. 77, p. 203, separates this species 

 from Blume's stipularis under the name of E. gambir Becc. apparently on a 

 statement of Koorder's that the plants are different. The Javanese form has 

 a tendency to be less hairy beneath the leaves, but I see no other difference.

 Racemes usually from below, the leaves about half as long to 

 4 in. long, tomentose often sub-terminal. Flowers '2 in. across. 

 Sepals lanceolate acute, tomentose, inside pubescent, pinkish
