Notes

2 Winkler 1435, from West Kalimantan, deviates in the very thin membranous leaves which dry greenish; the flowers are smaller and differ in details (see De Wilde, 1. c: 193). The specimen was collected in a marshy forest at c. 50 m altitude. 1 Horsfieldia pallidicaula vegetatively resembles the related species H. sucosa and H. sterilis, both essentially differing in the male flowers.
