The above is Mr. Clarke's diagnosis from Blume's specimens 
collected in Java, but there is an exactly similar specimen in the Kew 
Herbarium from Griffith, supposed to have been collected in Assam, 
but Mr. Clarke thinks it is probably from Malacca, but in either 
case it must be recorded in this work ; it differs from the next in 
being strigose above, but I strongly suspect it is only a slight variety cf
