Nota. Gl. Baker probabiliter Hooker f. et Horaninow sequens hanc speciem pro 

 varietate H. gracilis Roxb. siimpsit, cui assentiri nequimus, quia characteres floris nequaquam 

 congruunt; folia manifeste petiolata multo majora notam ad hanc speciem distinguendam maxime 

 aptam praebent; insuper statura multo major etiam hanc ab H. gracili distinguit; olim haec 

 species in horto berolinensi probabiliter e horto liverpoolensi in eum translata culta est.
