This plant varies somewhat in size of leaves and in the number of cells 
in the ovary. A large-leaved form, rather more tomentose and apparently 
with entire lanceolate stipules, is the var. latifolia King, l.c. 124, and has been 
met with at Goping in Perak by Kunstler. A form with 3-ceiled ovary and 
oblong fruit occurs with the ordinary form. This is the plant described 
as E. Scortechimi King, l.c. 124, and has been met with in Singapore on 
Bukit Timah and Bukit Mandai, Dindings at Bruas (Burn-Murdoch) and 
Perak at Relau Tujor by Wray, and at Ulu Bubong by Kunstler, and Sarawak, 
Borneo. Merrill, Jfourn. Roy. As. Soc. S, Br. 77, p. 203, separates this species 
from Blume’s slipularis under the name of E. gambir Becc. apparently on a 
statement of Koorder’s that the plants are different. The Javanese form has 
a tendency to be less hairy beneath thQ leaves, but I see no other difference.

4-5 in. long, 1-25 to 175 in. wide; petioles 75 in. long slender. 
Racemes usually from below, the leaves about half as long to 
4 in. long, tomentose often sub-terminal. Flowers '2 in. across. 
Sepals lanceolate acute, tomentose, inside pubescent, pinkish 
brown. Petals glabrous, cuneate, cut into 25 laciniae, greenish 
white. Torus of 5 velvety oblong glands. Stamens 20 to 25, 
shorter than petals; filaments less than half as long as anthers. 
Ovary conic, tomentose, 3-celled. Fruit ovoid-globular, 1 to 1/25 
in. long, -8 to *9 in. wide, i-celled. i-seeded. Hab. Mountains,

tude and Gunong Batu Putih (Wray); Pahang, Gunong Tahan

The form monticola Ridl. of Gunong Tahan has larger nearly entire 
leaves, and longer racemes sub-terminal.
