Notes
This species is clearly distinguished by its very small, axillary, male inflorescences bearing shortly pedicellate flowers, and also by the pedicel-late fruits containing remarkable endocarps which dorsally bear 2 inner rows of ± rod-like projections and 2 outer rows of thin, transverse, plate-like pro-jections, which are hooked on the outer margin. The projections are irregularly divided at their tips and the whole dorsal surface of the endocarp between the projections is very rough.
BACKER &BAKH.f. () exclude this species from W. Java, but I disagree (l.c. 1968).
