Knema tridactyla subsp. tridactyla
Content
Description
Leaves beneath with dense stellate hairs, intermixed with coarser dendroid hairs up to 0.5 mm long.
Distribution
Asia-Tropical: Borneo present (Sarawak present), W Sabah present
Malesia: Borneo (Sarawak: 4th Div.; W Sabah).
Morphology
2 The midrib is prominent above, usually covered with characteristic appressed scalelike hairs towards the base.
1 The leaves have conspicuous scattered crateriform hair scars on the upper surface (lens!), similar to those found e.g. in K. oblongata subsp. pedunculata, the latter differing in shape and size of the male flowers. In the indumentum on the lower leaf surface it is somewhat reminiscent of K. scortechinii and K. conferta.
