Etymology. This species is named after Pauzi Husin (1976 – 2011), a nature guide who first discovered it. Rosette plant. Rootstock short, woody, to 3 cm long, 5 mm diam, with wiry adventitious roots. Indumentum of stem and leaves silvery when dry, mainly of straight uniseriate, multicellular silky non-glandular hairs: on rootstock dense, 1 – 1.5 mm long, on the petiole very dense, 1 – 2 mm long, on the upper surface of the lamina dense, c. 0.85 mm long, on the veins of the lower surface of the lamina less dense, 0.4 – 0.85 mm long, on the lower surface of the lamina sparse, c. 0.3 mm long, on the bracts and bracteoles dense, 0.3 mm long; indumentum of inflorescences and flowers a mix of non-glandular and glandular hairs: on the peduncle with dense, non-glandular hairs c. 1 mm long and glandular hairs c. 0.25 mm long; on the pedicel, the outer surface of the calyx, corolla, and ovary with dense, glandular purple hairs c. 0.25 mm long, turning brown with age. Leaves alternate, crowded; petioles in life pale green, slender, the uppermost ones 2 – 3 cm long, the lowermost ones elongating to 5 – 11 cm long, terete, c. 1 mm diam; laminas in life dull dark green to greyish green above, paler beneath and concolourous with the petiole, suborbicular to reniform, 1.5 – 3 by 2 – 3 cm, c. 0.6 mm thick, base cordate to truncate, margin crenulate, apex acute in young leaves becoming rounded in fully expanded ones; secondary veins 4 – 5 pairs, sunken above, prominent beneath. Inflorescences axillary, many-flowered paniculate cymes up to 4 - times branched with 11 – 42 flowers, young peduncle brownish red becoming purplish, slender, 14 – 18 cm long, to 2 mm thick; bract pair green, narrowly oblanceolate, c. 1.4 by 0.3 mm, apex rounded; bracteoles single or paired, green, narrowly oblanceolate, apex rounded, c. 0.6 by 0.2 mm, pedicels purple, 5 – 7 mm long. Flowers: calyx light green, 5 - lobed, divided to the base, lobes c. 2 by 1 mm, surface of the inner lobe with three darker coloured veins; corolla plain lilac, tube very short, c. 2 mm long, limb deeply divided, lobes 4, darker toward the base, upper lobe deltoid, c. 3 by 3 mm, apex scarcely notched, lateral 2 lobes spreading, narrowly ovate, c. 4 by 2 mm, apex narrowly rounded, lower lobe longest, concave, margin incurved, c. 5 by 2.5 mm; stamens 2, positioned below the pistil, filaments curved, white tinged light green near base, pale lilac above, c. 2 mm long, bowed towards the lower corolla lobe; anthers connate face-to-face, bilobed, partly exposed in the corolla mouth, yellow, c. 1.3 by 0.5 mm; nectary a narrow, thin rim, partly encircling the ovary base; ovary conical, c. 1.5 by 0.7 mm, style lilac, c. 6 mm long, protruding beyond the corolla lobes, stigma minute, rounded, deep purple. Capsules dark brown, straight, slender, 4 - angled, 7.5 – 8 by 0.8 – 0.9 mm; splitting open dorsally; calyx and style persistent. Seeds ellipsoid, 320 – 430 by 150 – 230 μm, apex acute, surface pattern reticulate. Distribution — Endemic in Peninsular Malaysia: Kelantan, Gunung Stong State Park, Stong Waterfall. Habitat — On shaded to partially shaded wet granite cliff faces or on boulders c. 500 m altitude or on soil with thin humus layer under bamboo clumps at c. 315 m altitude. Other specimens examined. PENINSULAR MALAYSIA, Kelantan, Gunung Stong State Park, Stong Waterfall, Pauzi FRI 65285 (KEP), FRI 65370 (KEP); Yao FRI 55876 (KEP). Note — All other Loxocarpus species have a 5 - lobed corolla. The deeply divided 4 - lobed corolla of this species is the result of fusion of the upper two lobes.	en	Yao, L., Kiew, R., Haron, N. W.
