This species belongs in the group with Memecylon appendicw- 
latum Blume, M. paniculatum Jack and M. costatum Miq. and 
perhaps is most closely allied to Jack’s species, the type of which 
was from Sumatra. It is well characterized by its lanceolate 
leaves, which are more or less gradually narrowed upward from 
the lower one-third to the slenderly and sharply acuminate apex.
