This member of the Rubiaceae
family was given this name by A. P. de Candolle in 1830. It is found in Malaya, Southern Asia,
growing on the trees on the savannah. Some water and some to lots of
sun, and it will grow to 25 centimetres in height, with a caudex on
15 centimetres. The flowers are small and white, and seeds are the
only way of reproducing.
The caudex are
hollow, and host ants. Those ants isn't aggressive, and do little to
defend the plant. The might just bring nutrients to it. On the other
hand, the plant does not feed them like other Rubiaceaes.
