The specimens from Borneo appear to agree exactly with those 
from Malay, and shew close resemblance both to 8, axillaris and 
also to S. Ridleyi. 
S. palembanica, Miq. from Java, is also closely allied to these 
species. They all shew the interesting character of a well-defined 
narrow line of hairs across the middle of the inner face of the 
corolla lobes, and have the anthers bearded at the base (see fig. 
p. 294). 
A specimen with large pubescent triplinerved leaves collected by 
Dr. Nieuwenhuis in Central Borneo (No. 4), recently received from 
Buitenzorg, probably represents a distinct and undescribed species, 
but there are no flowers or fruits.

This species is very closely related to S. axillaris, Colebr., from 
the Khasia Hills. Indeed, so close is the agreement that I can 
find no certain means of separation, and it is also very nearly 
related to S. Horsfieldiana from Java. s no fruits have been 
collected with any of these species, and in view of the geographical 
separation, it seems best for the present to maintain Miquel’s 
species, S. palembanica, for the Sumatran plant. In the Leiden 
erbarium, Blume’s plant from Java has been referred to S. azil- 
laris, and at Berlin Gilg has named Forbes’ plant from Sumatra, 
. Pilgeriana. The Leiden specimens of Blume’s and Forbes’ plants 
are very similar, and closely resemble several specimens in that 
Herbarium, consisting only of leaves, apparently collected in Java 
or Sumatra. 
There is a further confusion in the matter as one of the Kew 
specimens labelled S. Horsjieldiana does not belong to that species, but 
represents a hitherto undescribed species (see S. villosa, A. W. Hill). 
The original description of S. palembanica has been emended 
after examination of the Leiden material ascribed to S. axillaris 
and Forbes’ material from Sumatra, Certain points, such as the 
hairy stems, the hairs in the axils of the nerves on the back of the 
leaf, the line of hairs in the corolla lobes and the bearded anthers, 
have not been exactly defined by Gilg, whose description otherwise 
applies well to S. palembanica,
