Also in Malaya, Borneo, Philippines and Travancore (if H. Bourdil- 
lontt Gamble is the same). 
H. macrantha Korth. was recorded for Ceylon (Walker) in Kew Bull. 
1918 and though I have seen no authenticated specimens of H. 
macrantha Korth. H. obtusifolia Trim. agrees well enough with the 
descriptions available, and differs from an Indian specimen, of H. 
obtusifolia, collected by Wight.

aspatana.
