'The present plant is a little different from other species of the genus 
by the valvate petals and in not having cup-like receptacles under the fruits. 
lt is suggested to me by Mr. T. Kawakaur who has just returned from his trip 
io the Malay archipelago that the plant just deseribed may be a new species, 
as he has not found any plant like this in any regions he visited.
