A specimen of Forbes's from Sumatra has flowers quite twice as large as those 

 from the Peninsula, but the structure is the same. He says, "Flowers cream-white 

 with a flush of rose-purple, very fragrant." The description of the follicles is taken 

 from those sent by Wray with his No. 1841, but as they are not attached to the plant, 

 and we have seen no others for comparison, we do not feel quite sure of their 

 identification.
