MR. H. N. RIDLEY ON CYRTANDRACEX MALAYENSES. 501 
Stamina vix exserta, corolle lobos vix superantia filamentis 
pubescentibus. Capsula cylindrica, 4 pollicaris, in gynophoro 
bipollicari gracili posita. Semina minuta, scabra, breviter 
monotricha. 
Perak, Gunong Hijan, alt. 5,000! Plus River (Wray! ) 
A beautiful and showy plant with flowers like those of some 
Malayan Rhododendron. The capsule is borne on a long 
gynophore. The seeds very much resemble those of 4¥. micro- 
tricha, C. B. Clarke, in DC. Monog. Phan., v. t. 3, they are 
brown, and bear short processes on the edge, and on a keel 
which runs down one side, and also on the opposite face ; the 
ends are drawn out into thin white linear acuminate processes. 
ZESCHYNANTHUS Lopprana, Hook., Bot. Mag., t. 4260. 
The commonest species in the peninsula, growing upon trees 
in wet jungle. 
Singapore, abundant, Kranji, mangrove swamps, Chan Chu 
Kang; Johore, Tana Runto, Jambu Larang (Fetldiny) ; 
Malacca, Mt. Ophir, Ayer Panas; Perak, Thaiping Hills, up to 
5,000 feet altitude; Pahang, Kwantan; Lankawi, Gunong 
Raya (Curtis); Kedah, Kedah Peak, 4,000 feet; it is also a 
native of Borneo. 
The form of the leaves varies a good deal as does their 
texture. The plants from the mountains such as Kedah Peak 
Mt. Ophir, and the Thaiping Hills, have much thicker and 
fleshier leaves, but I can hardly separate this form specifically. 
ZK. rRAvicans, Jack, in Trans. Linn. Soc., xiv. (1823) p. 43. 
Less common .than the last and more often to be found on 
rocks, though it also grows on trees overhanging streams.
