The young parts, branchlets and buds are always densely hairy, and to a different degree hairy in the older parts. The indumentum sometimes shows characters typical for particular species, e.g., T. merrillii differs from T. oblongifolius in the densely hairy upper surface of the leaf blades, and T. rufescens and T. sinclairii are both distinct because of their extremely dense indumentum.</p><p>In most cases the hairs show a single length, but in some species hairs of two different lengths are present (e.g., sepals of T. laevigatus, branchlets, leaves and inflorescences of T. sinclairii and T. balgooyi). The hairs vary from whitish to golden yellowish, from short to long and from soft silky to stiff hispid and sometimes they have a somewhat bulbose base.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CA2B5BF743735EFFDCFF67FD2C98C5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species strongly resembles T. wetriifolius in the growing habit, cauliflorous flowers and adventitious roots, while the distinct differences lie in the dark reddish (vs pale yellowish in T. wetriifolius) petals and 3 (vs 5 in T. wetriifolius) stamens.</p><p>2. This species has a special living strategy (also seen in T. wetriifolius, see Airy Shaw &amp; Ng 1978).The leaves are always clustered on the top of the main branch, where the adventitious roots also generate, thus the leaves accumulate dirt and fallen leaves from inside and form humus, from which the nutrition can be absorbed by the adventitious roots.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CA2B5BF74D7351FC85FA43FB7298E2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

We dissected one staminate flower from the isotype and it turned out to have 3 stamens. Its only difference from the typical T. laevigatus are the showy, protruding glands on the sepals, but there is a continuous variation from being glandless to having a flat gland to even having a protruding gland.

Most of the species in this complex, now synonymised, were based on slight differences, but all show the same essential similarities including the short petiole, spike-like inflorescences and the more or less warty fruits. All of these indicate that they are conspecific. Two kinds of forms can be distinguished, though there is overlap via intermediates that cannot be placed: a form, often identified as T. elmeri, mostly distributed in Thailand, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and parts of Borneo with short pedicel (1.5–3 mm long), petals with 2 glands at base and densely hairy but slightly warty fruits; another form, often identified as T. ionthocarpus, mainly in parts of Borneo and the Philippines with longer but thinner pedicel (3–9 mm long), petals with papillate hairs inside but without a basal gland and sometime extremely warty fruits.A molecular phylogeny of this species complex may enlighten an infraspecific distinction between the forms.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CA2B5BF7537348FC86F9BAFB8B98D5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species strongly resembles T. verticillatus var. verticillatus in the variable long petiole and the 5 stamens of the staminate flowers, but they are different in their inflorescences: several flowers (often more than 5) cluster into significant glomerules along the main rachis and the internodes are relatively distinct in T. longipes whereas in T. verticillatus var. verticillatus flowers are evenly spread along the spike-like rachis (only 1–3 flowers present per node) and the internodes are very short. A molecular phylogeny may result in a better conclusion about its distinctiveness.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CA2B5BF755734AFC86FD21FEBB9B99	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species resembles T. verticillatus but a few unusual or unique characters make the species quite distinct: thicker leaves, one pair of showy blackish adaxial glands on leaves (glands not showy, but sometimes can be two pairs in T. verticillatus), shorter inflorescences and pinkish instead of reddish purple flowers.</p><p>2. The species has remained inadequately known and was only mentioned once (Jablonski 1963) since the original publication. The original type collection (Hubert Winkler 1792) is not seen by us and is presumably lost, but our field observations and collections from Gunung Angsi (type locality) match the original description by Pax &amp; Hoffman (1914) very well. We are strongly convinced that this is a good and distinct species.

Flowering and fruiting: all year round.</p><p>Notes — 1. The inflorescences are mainly unisexual because they generally consist of flowers of the same gender but sometimes are mixed with a few flowers of the other sex. The flowers can spread evenly along secondary rachis, whereby the whole panicle attains a pyramid-shape (Thailand and Vietnam), or the flowers cluster in brush- or broom-like groups on tertiary branches and the inflorescences seem more umbellate (Sumatra and Borneo).</p><p>2. Many collections (in many herbaria) of this species are incorrectly identified either as T. sumatranus or T. paniculatus (or ‘ T. paniculatum ’) for a historical reason.</p><p>Pax &amp; Hoffman’s (1911) T. sumatranus was based on Forbes 2647 (BM, K, L), and is actually a synonym of T. viridissimus, a species that also bears paniculate inflorescences but can be easily distinguished from T. philippinensis by its much shorter petioles and stigmas being almost not bifid.</p><p>Merrill’s T. paniculatus ( ‘ paniculatum ’) ined. was based on rich collections, which are actually T. philippinensis, but he never published this name, because he thought T. paniculatus could be the same as T. sumatranus (Jablonski 1963) .</p><p>Jablonski (1963) never saw Forbes 2647 and he misbelieved that T. sumatranus and T. paniculatus were conspecific, and therefore connected these two misperceptions, which explains these common misidentifications accordingly.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CA2B5BF75A7340FC86FEA1FA9F9F00	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Milne (1995a) wrongly cited PNH ( Ramos) 42686 as type of T. polyanthus (but later corrected this in an erratum via a printed sheet among the specimens), as it is not the type and actually belongs to T. villosus . Therefore, the reference of Milne (1995a) is not listed under T. polyanthus .</p><p>3. The holotype for T. diffusus subsp. condensus cited by Milne (1995a), PHN (M. Lagrimas et al.) 39437, might be a misprint as it should be PHN (M. Lagrimas et al.) 39433 (same date and place as 39437). He also cited BS ( Ramos) 1645 as a paratype, but he probably did not notice that it was the type of an older name – T. polyanthus . Although T. diffusus shares some similarity with T. polyanthus in the inflorescences, the differences are also striking and necessitate that both species are kept distinct, e.g., the inflorescences of T. diffusus are more elongated, diffuse and paniculate with a relative clear main rachis in the middle (PNH (M. Lagrimas et al.) 56725) and much longer internodes, and the pedicels are glabrous and thinner. Both species are relatively rare, more collections are desired.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CA2B5BF75D7342FC86FA54FD7398C8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The genus remained monospecific since Jack’s publication. Jack’s original collection from Sumatra was never checked again by later botanists and it is very likely that it does not exist anymore (Merrill 1952). The illustration Jack cited (see Rumphius 1743) is a sterile plant and does not appear to be Trigonostemon .</p><p>Probably on account of the obscure status of Enchidium, botanists tended to abandon the name even though it was validly published prior to Trigonostemon . For example, Hooker (1887) regarded E. verticillatum as synonym under the later published T. indicus . Jackson (1893, 1895) reduced Enchidium as a synonym under Trigonostemon . Pax &amp; Hoffmann (1911) also transferred the type species E. verticillatum to T. verticillatus and synonymised T. indicus under T. verticillatus . The genus was eventually rejected in 1954 (see Introduction).</p><p>Because Jack’s collection is not available and illustration is incorrect, a neotype is here designated to T. verticillatus . We followed Pax &amp; Hoffmann’s (1911) treatment and the neotype specimen is chosen from one of Pax &amp; Hoffmann’s (1911) vouchers.</p><p>Key to the varieties</p><p>1.

Milne (1995a) misinterpreted T. polyanthus because he cited a wrong type specimen. The actual T. polyanthus is a very distinct species, differing from T. villosus in its penicillate or fastigiate inflorescences.</p><p>2. This species consists of four varieties spreading over a huge area (Map 12, 13) of great morphological variation. We made this treatment based on a large number of collections showing that this massive variation actually connects all single forms together into a species complex, even though the ex- treme forms often do not resemble each other (see Fig. 18). These extremes, furthermore, have often become the source of synonyms, where the species status is only valid in the type locality, but in a larger area, intermediate forms are always found.As morphological discontinuities are the only valid argu- ment for species / variety delimitation, all the forms in Fig. 18 are regarded as a single species despite the wide distribution; and T. villosus var. cordatus is described as a separate variety, regardless of its small distribution area (Sabah).</p><p>3. Generally, the hairs on leaf surfaces, the size of petioles and leaf blades and the inflorescence structure can be good characters to tell the varieties apart.</p><p>The varieties villosus and borneensis all have relatively stable and similar leaf blade and petiole sizes (Fig. 16), but they are different in inflorescence and flower structures – in var. borneensis, the inflorescences are unisexual (vs bisexual in var. villosus, but staminate flowers often fall off), the pistillate inflorescences have fewer flowers (often fewer than 4) at a time (vs often more than 4 in var. villosus), and the pistillate sepals are not much accrescent and often have an subapical gland outside (vs obviously accrescent and with a faint or no gland in var. villosus).</p><p>The new variety cordatus has a hairy leaf blade, which forms a typical morphological discontinuity separating it from var. borneensis .</p><p>The variety merrillianus is different from var. borneensis by its much (variable) longer petioles, much larger blades, often leaf-like bracts and staminate flowers in condensed glomerules.</p><p>Key to the varieties</p><p>1.

They have short petioles (shorter than 2.5 cm), seemingly unisexual inflorescences and often 1 or 2 pistillate flowers per inflorescence at one time, which all show clear allegiance to var. borneensis . Because of this, they are tentatively placed under var. borneensis even though there is a huge gap between their main distribution locations (Sumatra, Sabah), but the serrate sepals of the pistillate flowers with an acuminate apex do somewhat resemble var. villosus .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CA2B5BF7687375FFDCFBDDFB7B9B55	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Trigonostemon whiteanus (Croizat) Airy Shaw — Map 15</p><p>Trigonostemon whiteanus (Croizat) Airy Shaw (1983a) 68; (1983b) 48. — Cheilosa whiteana Croizat (1942b) 507; Airy Shaw (1963) 365, in note. — Type: FB (Curran) 17733 (holo A; iso K), Philippines, Luzon, Pampanga Prov., Mt Arayat.</p><p>Shrubs or trees; flowering branches c. 3 mm diam. Bark 0.3–0.4 mm thick, blackish, smooth, lenticellate, appressed pubescent when young, glabrous when mature; wood yellowish. Stipules not seen (see note 2). Leaves: petiole furrowed above, rounded beneath, 3–5.5 cm long, 1.2–1.5 mm diam (middle part), slightly thickened at base and apex, slightly pubescent above, glabrous beneath; blade broad ovate, 9–13 by 6.5–9 cm, thin coriaceous, base rounded, with 2 adaxial glands, slightly hairy, margin entire, apex acute to acuminate, yellowish green above (when dry), pinkish brown beneath, both sides glabrous; venations triplinerved, midrib slightly raised above and distinctly elevated beneath, nerves 4–7 pairs, curved, slightly raised on lower side, veinlets reticulate. Inflorescences: staminate ones not seen; pistillate ones few branched, pyramidal, densely appressed pubescent, up to 7 cm long and 2.5 mm diam; bracts triangular, 1.5–3 by 1–1.5 mm, apex acuminate, densely appressed pubescent outside, glabrous inside. Staminate flowers not seen. Pistillate flowers 3.5–4.5 mm diam; pedicel 4–6.5 mm long, 0.45–0.8 mm diam, appressed pubescent; sepals triangular to lanceolate, 2–2.5 by 0.8–1.2 mm, apex acuminate, appressed pubescent outside; petals fallen, remnants membranous, yellowish, glabrous; disc lobes c. 0.5 mm wide, appressed pubescent; ovary 2–2.2 mm diam, densely appressed pubescent; style c. 0.5 mm long, trifid, stigma 0.7–0.8 mm long, branches basally connate, apex very slightly thickened and bifid. Fruits and seeds unknown.</p><p>Distribution — Philippines (endemic).</p><p>Notes — 1. Only known from the type collection. No staminate flowers are available, which makes the generic identification uncertain, but the petals and trifid styles are typical for Trigonostemon, though not exclusively.</p><p>2. The development of the stipules seemed to be con- strained, only two very obscure elevations with a few hairs were found instead of normal stipules.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CA2B5BF76F7372FFDCF9B4FB429908	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
