var. oblonga King, l.c. 266. Drupe bright red, *5 in. long, 
embryo spathulate; radicle nearly as long as cotyledons. Perak

Wray’s plant has much broader leaves with nerves prominent beneath, 
probably a lowland form. In the high mountain forms the leaves are narrow 
and smooth beneath, the nerves often quite invisible.
