Distribution of the species : P. Penang, Malay Archipelago 

 (Java!, Celebes!, Wetar!, Ambon!, Key-islJ, Dutch-New- 

 Guinea!, Kais.-W.-land), Bismarck-archipelago!, tropical 

 Australia. 



Its affinities are with C. rubella, C. pilosissima Max. (from 

 Formosa), C. caudafa and C. maccophglla. The leaves, however, 

 never have a distinctly cordate base, as in C. rubella, are never 

 as narrow at in C. pilosissima have never an acute or cuneate 

 base as in C. caudata, nor are as long and wide as the leaves 

 of C. macrophylla, which are coarsely dentate and have their 

 greatest breadth near the base.
