510 MR. H. N. RIDLEY ON CYRTANDRACE® MALAYENSES. 
rocky dry woods a little below Padang Batu, on Mt. Ophir, and 
also on the other spur of the same range known as Gunong 
Mering. 
Sectio Kompsope@a. 
This section contains a number of small allied species with 
short stems and congested leaves, and distinctly though often 
shortly tubular flowers, but D. Kompsobea, C. B. Clarke, with 
its large solitary flowers so closely resembling D. platypus, 
C. B. Clarke, which is referred to Heterobea, appears to me 
out of place with such plants as D. bullata, C. B. Clarke, and 
D. reticulosa, C. B. Clarke. I think a good section can be formed 
of these small species, of which there are a number in Borneo 
and a few in the mountain woods of our peninsula. Among 
them I would include D. heterophylla, Ridl., from Pahang, which 
has also been collected on Gunong Junong, in Johore, by Lieut. 
Kelsall, and the following, which, however, has a thicker 
tapering capsule and a flower more like that of D. semitorta, 
C. B. Clarke.

Corolla } pollicaris, extus hispida violacea; labium inferius

minuta fusiformia oblonga, cylindrica, reticulata. 
Johore, on Gunong Panti, on rocks (December, 1892). 
This differs from D. heterophylla, Ridl., in the distinctly 
polished hairy leaves, which are broadest towards the apex, the 
larger flowers with very large anthers, and the broader thicker 
fruits. The leaves are puncticulate all over besides being 
sprinkled with hairs.
