Remarks

Etymology: 'The species epithet is a latinisation of the Indonesian tanduk rusa, meaning ‘antlers’ in English, and can be thought of as alluding to the deeply lobed and fuzzy leaf blades. Tandurusa is also a place name in Bitung district, Sulawesi Utara, but it is not clear that the plant is known from there. Tandurusa has been the vernacular name for the species in horticulture at least since 2007'.
