Identification. A species distinguished from all other species of the S.

Differentiated from S. sejuncta A.Hay (geographically the closest species) by having staminate and pistillate flower zones contiguous (not separated by a well-defined and conspicuous naked sterile interstice) ( Kartini et al. 2017).

Distribution and ecology. Eastern Sabah. Tawau Hills Park on the banks of Tiku River along the trail to Galas Hill. Occurs on steep slopes and earth banks over basalt in wet lowland to hill forest elevation between 90 and 330 m.
