MO: Fi, 
This species has the typical Strobilanthes habit, but has 
echinate pollen. Consequently, with many others noted by 
Clarke in King and Gamble’s Materials for Flora of Malayan 
Peninsula (1907), 869, it comes under his genus Acanthopale. 
It differs from Lindau’s Pseudostenosiphonium by the presence 
of 4 stamens instead of 2. See Clarke in FI. Trop. Afr., v (1900), 
60, 63, under Distichocalyx and Acanthopale.
