Lower Thailand; in Malesia: Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java (western), Borneo, Moluccas.

Morphology

Within this still very variable entity extremes of the variation can be distinguished:
  • a. Lamina narrow, oblanceolate to spathulate to linear-oblanceolate, relatively small, apex rounded to obtuse, with the furcation of the midrib usually above the middle of the lamina; petiole up to 1 cm long. — var. angustifolia (Miq.) Corner — Lower Thailand; in Malesia: Malay Peninsula, Sumatra (incl. Riouw Archipelago), Borneo.
  • b. Lamina obtriangular to obovate, relatively large (up to 14 by 14 cm), apex obtuse to truncate, with the furcation of the midrib normally below the middle of the lamina, in addition to the waxy glands in the axils of the basal lateral veins and the furcation of the midrib often 2-6 in secondary furcations of the veins; petiole up to 9 cm long. — var. kunstleri (King) Corner — Lower Thailand; in Malesia: Malay Peninsula, Borneo.
  • c. Lamina either pinnately veined with an acute to subacuminate apex or obtriangular to obovate with an obtuse to truncate apex and the furcation of the midrib usually below the middle of the lamina mostly with a waxy gland in the furcation; petiole up to 2.5 cm long. — var. lutescens (Desf.) Corner — Sumatra, Java, Borneo.
  • d. Lamina obovate, apex rounded to truncate, midrib usually furcate above the middle of the lamina, usually only waxy glands in the axils of the basal lateral veins; petiole up to 1(-2) cm long. — var. arenaria Corner — Borneo. — Because of the absence of a waxy gland in the furcation of the midrib and the furcation of the midrib above the middle of the lamina, this form resembles F. oleifolia subsp. intermedia, from which it can be distinguished by the exfoliating epidermis of the petiole.
