Perak : King's Collector. 
A species collected by Forbes in Eastern Sumatra (ITerb, Forbes, 
Nm. SI 72) resembles this closely. The specimens are in fruit only, and 
the individual carpels beiuga little smaller and less obovoid, it probably 
belongs to a distinct species. Forbes' specimens have no flowers.
