Beccari distinguishes his S. grandifolius by its large leaves and 
the two-coloured fruit with the line between the two colours sharply 
delimited. This is characteristic of S. scorpioides and Burkill’s 
plant exactly matches Beccari’s specimens of S. grandifolius.

Specimens of what is clearly the tree described by me dubiously 
as a new genus Cantleya have been obtained by Mr. Foxworthy s 
collector near Kuching, Sarawak, Borneo. In the Johor specimen 
the perianths had fallen, and only the pistils were left. The above 
description is mainly on the Borneo specimens. Mr. Foxworthy 
adds that the bark is half an inch thick, and rough.
