I found a plant in Perlis, near Kanga, in which the bracts are very 
narrow acuminate, the petioles longer, glands linear clubbed, no visible 
limb and capsule pubescent; in some respects resembling E. hypericifolia, 
but the leaves are not serrate, and gland limb minute or none. The leaves 
are much affected by a fungus, which may account for its variation from 
typical E. Atoto.
