The following specimens, Maingay K.D. 1459/2 from Malacca; Curtis 2492 
also from Malacca and Ridley 7023 from Province Wellesley, come near this 
species, but differ in having thinner leaves which are hardly at all cimamome- 
ous on the lower surface. They may belong to a new species, but ripe fruit 
would be necessary before a description can be written. Von Seemen has 
identified Maingay’s specimens with C. Hudlettiz, but I cannot agree in this.
