REMARKS

The treatment in Keraudren-Aymonin (1975: 77) cannot be used for this species as the description is a mixture with T. kerrii (in the plate 13: 1-3, T. kerrii is depicted).

In the electronic version of Flora of China ( Huang & Jeffrey 2011) the colour of the fruit is given as brown-red, contradictory to the green, longitudinally whitish or pale yellow striped ripe fruit known for Thailand and the Malesian region.
