Arcangelisia tympanopoda

Primary tabs

Arcangelisia tympanopoda

Description

Leaves apparently indistinguishable from those of A.flava, except for stomata (see notes under the genus).

Distribution

Asia-Tropical: New Guinea present
Malesia: New Guinea.

Notes

The difference between the two forms of infructescence is remarkable. Since they both bear similar large-sized fruits, it must be concluded that they both belong to this species. The position on the plant, e.g. whether on older or younger stems, may determine the form of the infructescence.
