broad, deeply depressed at base, 6 to 9 in. long, 2 to 2-75 in. wide; 
petioles very short, under -i in. long. Stipules triangular, keeled 
acute sometimes forming a 4-toothed tube. Flowers -5 in. long, 
reddish yellow; pedicels fascicled in axils of fallen leaves. Calyx 
narrow campanulate, mouth 4-toothed. Corolla little longer 
salver-shaped, tube hairy within, 4 oblong lobes longer. Stigma 
exsert with 2 ovate-oblong lobes. Fruit as big as a pepper-corn, 
dark green. Seeds numerous, pitted. A very little-known plant. 
Hab. Perak, Chanderiang and Larut (Kunstler). 
I give both Kunstler’s descriptions of the habit of this plant from his 
tickets. This and the next are very unlike the rest of the genus, and I think 
should be generically separated, but the material is too scanty at present.
