This fine plant much resembles the Sarawak plant, 

 but did not appear to be stoloniferous as it is in Borneo. 

 The leaves were seven feet in length, the stem large and 

 stout. The flowers as in the Borneo plant, but the 

 Stamens were white. The fruit had the same shape and 

 size of the Borneo plant, pointed at both ends, but more 

 or less pear shaped, green.
