Morphology
Chonemorpha fragrans is an extremely variable species with the specimens from Peninsular Malaysia seemingly particularly distinct with the longer calyx tube and correspondingly shorter lobes and the more densely pubescent calyx. In addition the corolla is generally somewhat smaller than usual. However, there are no discontinuities between these specimens and the rest of the material of the species which shows patterns of variation in other parts of its range.
