Taxonomy
Related to H. parviflora from the Moluccas, with an almost similar flower structure but differing in the larger membranous leaves, larger male perianths (2.5-4 mm width), 36-50 thecae, thinner-walled and deeper androecium cup, with the anthers usually inflexed at both sides of the androecium, and glabrous ovary and fruit.
