0.6 cM. (/?.), 1.2 cM. in diam. {K. et G.); lobes of 

 enlarged calyx 1.3 by 0.3 cM. 



Distribution: Malay Peninsula. 



The descriptions of Ridley and that of King and Gamble are 

 not always conform. 



The fistular intemodes and petioles are sometimes inhabited 

 by ants belonging to the genus Pheidole.

Since we did not see any distinct transitory form between 

 this species and C. macrophyllum, we cannot agree with Hallier, 

 I.e. in considering it as a var. sinuatolobatum (not -a, as Hall. 

 Writes) of the last-mentioned species, from which it is, moreover 

 separated by its distribution.
