Galing (Burn-Murdoch). Perak, Selama (Kunstler). 
The Pahang specimens which are in fruit differ from the single specimen 
of the type I have seen, in the leaves being narrower, acute not cuspidate, 
with smaller stipules and some pubescence on the upper side of the leaves. 
It is possibly distinct.
