In the Straits Settlements, in shady damp spots near water. Distrib. 

 The Malayan Archipelago, 



A very variable shrub of which Blume distinguishes 3 varieties. 

 All the specimens I have seen from the Straits have glabrous leaves : 

 but Blume and Others describe the leaves as often pubescent or even 

 pilose below.

 nerves 10 to 14 pairs, length of blade 6 to 9 in., breadth 1-75 to 2-5 in. ; 

 petiole •5-1-25 in., slender, the base much thickened. Floivers terminal, 

 solitary, on ovoid, scarcely expanding, '85 in. long, erect pubescent 

 annulate peduncles 1 in. long. Sepals 3 and petals 6 scarcely exceeding

 sessile, more than -6 in. long. Pistils 6 to 8, linear, pubescent, llipe 

 fruit ovoid, pointed, 1-25 in. long and -75 in. in diam. ; individual 

 carpels '75 to 1 in. long, with short stout sub-terminal beaks.
