834 Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 



collected at Kampong Chin-Chin, Ula Batu Pahat, Johore, by Lake & Kelsall in 1892. 

 Unfortunately, there are no specimens in the herbaria at Kew or Calcutta, so' we hesi- 

 tate to alter the name. If the identification proves correct, it is Ridley's name that 

 must take precedence. This is one of the species whose fistular stems contain ants' 

 nests. C. macrophylliim, Hook. MS. in Herb. Kew, a large-leaved, handsome species 

 from Java and Borneo, is very closely allied to this species.
