This is very remarkable for the presence of large 
stipules. The leaves are very variable in shape but are 
somewhat peculiar in the base running down the 
petiole. .

A shrub with lanceolate leaves and minute flowers, 
usually green on slender short axillary peduncles never 
terminal. The capsule is quite that of the other 
species except its being more or less covered with rough 
bristly hairs. The plant occurs on the Taiping hills 
from the base to about 3,000 feet elevation ; at Bukit 
Kapayung near Sungei Siput in Perak, and in the 
Temengoh woods, and also at Tasek in Province 
Wellesley (not Penang as given in the Materials), Curtis — 
412. The latter is the type of the species Curtzszz which 
only differs from the Taiping Hills form in its greater 
hairiness. The plant however varies considerably in this 
point, and some of the Taiping Hills plants are nearly 
as hairy as those of Province Wellesley. A specimen 
collected by Curtis at 3,000 feet on the Taiping hills is 
nearly glabrous on the upper surface of the leaves 
only the midrib being strigose. Those from the base of 
the hill, and from Temengoh are more hairy.
