Notes: —We only know P. polytricha in Peninsular Malaysia from the type of P. ascendens Ridl. Miquel (1856) indicated that P. laxiflora var. lepidota Korthals (1851: 242) may belong here, but like him, we have not seen any original material so cannot verify the synonymy. Merrill (1954) included P. rufipila Valeton (1909 : t. 291) also, but again we have not seen any original material.
