Solms-Laubach in Herb. Kew. labels this R. Cantleyi, sp. nov., but seems 
never to have published any description of it or referred to it in his Monograph 
in the Pflanzenreich. I cannot distinguish it from R. Hasseltii. It occurs 
sporadically in the dense forests and is used by the Malays as a drug under
