Notes
1Two forms can be recognised: one with short ± appressed hairs and the other with long ± patent hairs with swollen bases, hirsute on the leafy twigs, petioles, and stipules and hirtellous on the lamina and the hairs on the pistillate perianth longer. Only one of the collections examined, W. Meijer 1851, from Tarakan, is more or less intermediate. The latter form is indicated on some labels as subsp. barbatum by Jarrett, an unpublished name.
2According to Jarrett (1959) the species might have been introduced to the Philippines from Borneo.
