Malaysia - Wild Flower for ID - 080814 - RK - 3 : 11 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (2). Fraser's hill - 17/07/2014 - afternoon Probably a Gesneriaceae member? May be a species of Pentaphragma (Pentaphragmataceae) The genus Cyrtandromoea and family Gesneriaceae. I am not sure about the species name. These two photographs look like Epithema of Gesneriaceae. There are so many species extending from Africa to India and SE, Asia. Therefore I am unable to identify the species. Sorry, from these photographs I could reach only up to the generic name. It is impossible to proceed further unless full plant is examined and dissected. I just had a look into the efi-homepage and came across a plant running under "Gesneriaceae member- Fraser's hill, Malaysia" (https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/g/gesneriaceae/gesneriaceae-member-1/fraser-s-hill). This is not a gesneriad, but definitely a Pentaphragma, most probably P. horsfieldii, of the family Pentaphragmataceae (Asteridae). so we did really not have a conclusion on this case way back in 2014, I am glad ... found it
