This reaombles T% pumUa, but its loaves aro not glaucous beneath, 
and they have more nerves : moreover the flowers are smaller and not 
drooping, the petals ovate and not obovate, audthe carpels are only about 
half the length of those of that species.

Perak, in dense forests at elevations of from 3,G00 to 7,000 feet. 
There is some variability as to the shape and size of the sepals : 
sometimes they are triangular and much smaller than the petals, in 
other specimens they resemble the petals both in size and shape. The 
stamens also vary in number, but they never form more than a single 
row. The texture of the leaves in some plants is thin and membranous, 
in others almost coriaceous. It is possible there may be two specieB 
included in this.
