In its large stiffly coriaceous leaves, and large acuminate flowers 

 this handsome shrub resembles T. giyantifolia, Miq., of Borneo 

 and Sumatra, but from this, which is described as a tree, it differs 



in its petioles being much longer and the pistils perfectly glabrous 



at all stages, From T, lanigera^ Hook, f., it differs in its larger 

 flowers and much larger leaves, and also in its perfectly glabrous 

 pistils, which in both of these species are covered with dense 

 yellow silky hairs. The plant appears to be confined to the south 

 of the peninsula, where it occurs in low swampy forest. T. 

 lanigeray Hook, f ., a small tree, occurs in Penang, where Curtis 

 collected it, in Malacca (Griffith), and at Larut in Perak, A 

 specimen in Herb. Kew, labelled ^^ Singapore, 1867/' by 

 Maingay, is the only record from the island, and perhaps is 

 wrongly localised.
