This plant, described from specimens collected on Gunong Batu 

 Puteh, is somewhat variable in foliage. In the type the 

 leaves are obovate, elliptic or oblong, with a short stout 

 petiole. The Telom plants differ in the length of the petiole 

 and the form of the leaf, and may be described as a 

 variety.

 lanceolate acuminate to ovate acuminate, 6 inches long, and 

 2^-3 inches wide ; petiole slender, 3-4 inches long. Petals 

 red and white. Stamens yellow. Telom, in forests by 

 streams, Nov. 21-08. 



Some plants gathered in different spots were very much weaker 

 with narrow leaves ; the petiole and peduncles crimson hairy, 

 and the fruits densely hairy muricate, but otherwise they 

 resembled the local plant.

 Flora of the Malay Per.insula," all through the article as 

 "Malacca; Bujang").
