Primary tabs

Cyathea borneensis

Distribution

Asia-Tropical: Borneo present; Malaya (Peninsular Malaysia present), Malaysia present, S. Siam northwards to Mergui present
S. Siam northwards to Mergui, in Malaysia'. Malay Peninsula, Borneo.

Notes

Bornean specimens seem on the whole larger than those from Malaya, and are also more often suffused with purple on the rachis which in Malayan specimens is usually green (pale when dry). Rosenstock wrongly cited the number of the type collection of his C. obtusata as 1148; it should be 7148 (leg. King's Coli., Perak).
