Note
Prain (1897, p. 487) described the characters of his variety as copied above, and also recorded its vernacular name as `Kumpas ruman'. Ridley (1922: 645) already clearly stated that the "var. wallichii Prain is based on specimens collected by Wallich 5983 and 8089. They are leaf-specimens only, very hairy and quite indeterminable".
