REMARK

The type, Service Forestier (Capuron) 3009, is in bud; the second collection cited by Kostermans has young fruits. Kostermans compared this species with O. similis from which it differs in the clearly alternate leaves, and with O. faucherei , a poorly known species with the filaments of the inner three stamens fused. Because the type is in buds, it is not possible to verify if O. macrorhiza has free or fused filaments of the inner stamens. I doubt also that the paratype is conspecific with the type.
