Fagraea ridleyi  
This rare epiphytic shrub in Siloso, previously thought to be extinct, is likely the last known living specimen in Singapore. See leaf and nervation, stem and another uncommon sister species in Singapore -- Fagraea auriculata. F. ridleyi is just one of many plants named in honour of
Mr. H. N. Ridley, the supremo father of tropical botany.
