Singapore, WaUich. 
A very imperfectly known species, the only specimens being Wal- 
lich's which are not good and which are in flower only. The only other 
specimen which agrees with Wallich's specimens as to leaves and 
branches is from Penaug (Curtis No. 1408) : but this has a short 
2-flowered, extra-axillary peduncle, and I hesitate to identify it with U. 
sub-repanda.
