When I saw this plant in De Candolle's Herbarium I thought it might be a variety of ^. odoratissima ; 

 but on comparing the specimens both from Timor and Java^ received from the Leyden Herbarium^ I am 

 inclined to think that the form and venation of the leaflets^ Avhich are^ moreover^ perfectly glabrous^ are 

 sufficient to keep it distinct.
