Notes

HOOKER (l.c.) mentioned under B. latifolia ROXB. that "There is a specimen marked from Malacca in Griffith's Herbarium". ENGLER (l.c.) cited "Birma vel Malacca (Griff., n. 1114 in Herb. Kew)" under the same species.
I examined the specimen in question in the Kew Herbarium. It was correctly identified. On it there are two printed labels "Birma and Malacca" and "Malacca", respectively. Therefore, I presume that this specimen was collected in Burma.
B. latifolia is characterized by usually broad elliptic to elliptic-oblong leaves, villose beneath and obtuse or emarginate at the apex. So far I have not seen any collection of it from Malesia.
NAVES & FERNANDEZ-VILLAR () recorded it as occurring in the Philippines, but MERRILL () excluded it from the flora of this region.
