In all the Malayan Provinces at low elevations: common. Sylhet to Burmah. 
This species varies somewhat as to size of flowers and texture of leaf. The form 
named A. parviflora by Miquel in his Sumatra Supplement was, by himself, subsequently 
reduced to a variety of this species (Aum. Mus, Lugd. Bat. ii. 38).

17. Axraporrys BuRMANIcUs, A. DC. Mem, Anon. 36. A large climber; young parts

Leaves membranous, oblong-lanceolate, abruptly and shortly acuminate, the base sub-acute

_ I have ventured to describe this, although its flowers are unknown, and the only 
fruit collected is unripe. By its oblong costate leaves it differs from every other 
described Artabotrys, except A. macrophyllus, mihi, __ ee
