For uniformity with the Flora of British India the Siam plant 
might have been treated as a variety of H. javanica but in the 
writer's opinion the variety Hookeri, C. B. Clarke, of H. javanica 
should be raised to specific rank as should also the variety chinensis, 
Dunn, of the same species. These three species H. chinensis, 
Hookeri, and H. siamica, form a very natural group distinguished 
from H. javanica by their solitary generally long peduncled umbels.
