This species was collected only once by the late Fntlier Seort echini. 
All the flowers which I have seen are male ; and, as no unisexual species 
of this genus has hitherto been described, I have modified the generic 
definition accordingly. This differs from T» Cambodianum in having 
very coriaceous leaves with shorter petioles, smaller flowers, and much 
more numerous stamens.
