Taxonomy
1In Sri Lanka and India the species is also represented by a form with dense whitish indumentum on the lamina, petiole and leafy twig (subsp. zeylanicus F.M. Jarrett, J. Arnold Arbor. 41 (1960) 90).
2 As the species is not known from Borneo, Jarrett (1941) suggested that it was introduced in Cagayan Sulu, but a recent collection (Ridsdale et al. 1394) from Luzon may indicate that the species is indigenous. The fact that the leaves of material from the Philippines normally have fewer lateral veins (7-10 pairs, whereas elsewhere normally 10-15 pairs) would support the latter view.
