The Malacca (Maingay) locality is doubtful; the specimen was probably 
collected by Maingay in Penang. The tree usually flowers after change of 
leaves with only thin young ones. It often has obconic red-tomentose galls, 
‘5 in. long, -4 in. wide, at the top in place of fruit.

The Burmese plants have stiller leaves, green when dry. My specimens 
are thinner and dark, quite like the specimen collected in Malacca by Griffith.
