(1) C. johorica Ridl. 
Leaves elliptic acuminate, base cuneate; nerves 10 pairs very 
indistinct, 27 in. long, 1-4 in. wide; petioles ’3 in. long. Cymes 
when fully developed 75 to 1 in. long, pale pubescent; branches 
*5 in. long pubescent. Calyx pubescent. Johor (Cantley). Native 
name: Daru Daru. 
I cannot find any genus to fit this plant, which seems, however, to be 
most nearly allied to Gomphandra. The specimens are very incomplete. 
Cantley labels it as Kayu Daru-Daru, a highly valued timber, of what 
species is not known. It should be sought for again.
