Perak, on Gunong Hijan; Thaiping Hills, at an altitude of 
5,000 feet. 
This is allied to 4. longiflora, DC., but differs in its very 
short smooth calyx lobes and subglabrous corolla and glabrous 
stamens. I have not seen the fruit.

Siam, Bangtaphan, an epiphyte in earthy hollows in reclining 
trees (Dr. Keith); Lankawi, on Gunong Raya (Curtis, 2142) ; 
Penang, on Government Hill.

according to Mr. Curtis. It bas long been known in culti-

Singapore, common, Choa Chu Kang, Kranji, Selitar; Perak, 
Tea Gardens, Thaiping Hills. 
This also occurs in Borneo, Sumatra, Celebes, and Ceram. 
It forms large tufts in trees in the jungles, especially near water. 
The stems hang down, and are purple in colour. The leaves 
are green above and bright pink beneath, with purple petioles. 
The calyx is deeply cleft, and the narrow lobes are as long as 
the corolla, and dark brownish purple. The corolla much 
resembles that of the preceding in colouring, being light green 
with a brownish purple bar within the margin, and a similarly 
coloured central line in the centre of each lobe. The stamens 
are brown. The capsule is slender, and 8 inches in length. 
The seeds cylindric brown, with a number of hairs at the hilum 
end and a single one at the apex. The leaves vary very much 
in shape, sometimes ovate and sometimes narrowly lanceolate 
acuminate at both ends.
