| Remarks | planted 3rd May 1935.; [Remarks from H. M. Burkill, Director:] The ceremony of opening the new Singapore Herbarium on 24th October 1964 was completed by the cutting of a tree branch across the main doorway. We do not like tape (red), and therefore had no use of the symbolism of 'cutting the tape'. We are not affluent enough to afford a gold key. This specimen is taken from the branch cut by Mr. Chan Chee Seng, Parliamentary Secretary for Social Affairs, who officiated at the opening ceremony. The plant has been in cultivation in Singapore Botanic Gardens for many years. It is not true to type and may be a novelty. Whether this is a new variety or not, the specimen serves to mark this auspicious occasion. |
