Perak : Ulu Slim, King's Collector, No. 10664. Ulu Bubong, 

 King's Collector, No. 10126. Distrib., Borneo; Motley, No. 9G0. 



Motley's Bornean specimen above-quoted is in flower only ; but it 

 so entirely resembles in leaves and wood those of my collector in Perak 

 which are in fruit only, that I have ventured not only to consider them 

 as belonging to the same species, but to draw up the above description 

 of the flowers from the Bornean and of the fruit from the Perakian 

 specimens. The species resembles G. fulvus in leaves and flower and 

 G. malayanus in flower. The fruit is more like that of a Uvaria than of 

 a Goniothalamus, having 4, sub-horizontal, rugose seeds.
