This species has been reduced to L. speciosa ( L. flos-regince) by Koehne 
in his monograph. It is very distinct, however, from me true flos-regina 
in its larger, oblong-rounded stiffer leaves and unribbed calyx. The typical 
L. macrocarpa has very large fruits and flowers and may be seen in gardens. 
The specimens quoted above closely resemble Burmese forms, rather smaller 
in all parts. The first quoted may be wild, the other two, doubtless, planted.
