Legeh (A. D. Machado). 
Two plants were brought down by Mr. Machado from the 
Legeh Goldmines, north of Truiganu, and cultivated in the 
Botanic Gardens at Singapore. The stem is soft and not at 
all woody; the leaves are of acurious grey-green colour, smooth 
and polished above, but the somewhat impressed nerves give it 
a bullate appearance. The flowers are of a fiery orange with 
darker red apices, and very handsome. There are four fertile 
stamens, one pair longer than the other, but both shorter than 
the style, the anthers of each pair are joined together by their 
apices, as usual they are rounded and quite regular. The pistil 
is straight, the distinction between ovary and style not being 
marked, the stigma is gradually dilated and truncate. Itisa 
difficult plant to propagate as it has not as yet fruited; nor can 
it be propagated by leaf cuttings.
