Singapore,— Wallich. 
A very imperfectly known species, the only specimens being Wallich’s, which are 
not good and which are in flower only. ~The only other specimen seen by me which 
agrees with Wallich’s specimens as to leaves and branches is from Penang (Curtis 
No. 1408); but this has a short, 2-flowered, extra-axillary peduncle, and I hesitate to 
identify it with U. sub-repanda.
