Specimens collected by Marcan in a locality not far from 
Teysmann’s collecting ground show that C. siamensis is evidently 
deciduous. The plant is not glabrous, as described by Kurz, the 
young branchlets being densely covered with a low felt and the 
leaves being thinly pubescent on both sides, especially on the 
nerves. The fruit, on a woody gynophore 2: 5 em. long, is about 
3-5 em. long and 2 cm. diameter, apiculate, tomentose, and with. 
8 longitudinal rows of prominent tubercles, 4 rows being on 
distinct continuous ridges, the other 4 being without continuous 
ridges.
