This species belongs in the group with Memecylon appendicvr 

 latum Blume, M. paniculatum Jack and M. costatum Miq. and 

 perhaps is most closely allied to Jack's species, the type of which 

 was from Sumatra. It is well characterized by its lanceolate 

 leaves, which are more or less gradually narrowed upward from 

 the lower one-third to the slenderly and sharply acuminate apex.
