British North Borneo, Batu Lima, near Sandakan, Ramos 
1509, October, 1920. In damp forests at low altitudes. A species 
remarkable for its very large leaves, in this character somewhat 
approaching Talauma gigantifolia Mig. of Sumatra which is also 
recorded from Borneo. The present species, however, differs from 
Miquel’s in very numerous characters, especially in its much 
longer, differently shaped, smooth leaves, the reticulations being 
Jax and not nearly as prominent as in 7’. gigantifolia.
