I bnre seen no ripe cnpaales, and the shoVQ descrtption ot tliom is taken from 
Scortechliii'a field-note. The species is rendily distinguishable by its very iinrrow 
equ&l-ai^led coarsely hairy loavea. A drawmg of thia, aeat to Herb. Kew from 
Penang by Mr. 0. Curtia, reprOBeota the leaf-petiolea as not more than one inah long.
