This species shows some resemblance to S. Wenzelii Merr., 
from the island of Leyte, but without fruits of either being 
known it is impossible to say whether there is a very close affinity 
between them. The Palawan plant is distinct in the dull-brown

This is a very distinct species with its small, broadly-ovate, 
emarginate, trinerved leaves, glabrous and ashy-grey in colour. 
It is quite unlike S. pubescens, C. B. Clarke, though from its 
flowers it belongs to the same section of the genus.
