Hydnophytum puffii Y.W.Low, Sugau & K.M.Wong
- Common Name:
- Family: Rubiaceae Juss.
- Country of Origin: Borneo: Sabah
- Description: Hydnophytum puffii is closely related to H. angustifolium Merr. but differs in having glabrous young twigs, 4–5 pairs of leaf secondary veins on the lower leaf surface, a corolla tube that is densely covered with translucent hairs inside the throat around the anthers, and prolate mature fruits. This new taxon is the only species in Borneo to have linear leaves as the other two taxa, namely H. coriaceum Becc. and H. formicarum Jack have broad elliptic leaves.1
