Knema glaucescens is a species of plant in the family Myristicaceae. It is native to Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore and Borneo. [1] However, a morpho-taxonomic study of fossil leaves assemblage discovered from the upper part of the Siwalik succession of sediments of Papum Pare district, Arunachal Pradesh, India, had shape, base and venation pattern comparable to Knema glaucescens (Myristicaceae).

The leaf muntjac, leaf deer or Putao muntjac is a small species of muntjac. It was documented in 1997 by biologist Alan Rabinowitz during his field study in the isolated Naungmung Township in Myanmar. Rabinowitz discovered the species by examining the small carcass of a deer that he initially believed was the juvenile of another species; however, it proved to be the carcass of an adult female. He managed to obtain specimens, from which DNA analysis revealed a new cervid species. Local hunters knew of the species and called it the leaf deer because its body could be completely wrapped by a single large leaf. It is found in Myanmar and India.
