518 MR. H. N. RIDLEY ON CYRTANDRACE.S MALAYENSES. 
similar plant with a well-developed stem, with rather remote 
leaves, and a long, slender capsule, pubescent, but not ripe. 
This may be a distinct species, but the flowers appear similar, 
and Mr. Curtis thinks it is identical.

Perak, banks on the Thaiping Hills (H. N. Ridley, 2911 ; 
C. Curtis, 2038). 
Rather a coarse large plant, with axillary panicles of claret- 
coloured flowers. It has more of the habit of Didissandrw of 
the D. frutescens group, but has but two fully-developed 
stamens. 
Bea SUFFRUTICOSA, sp. nov.

Lankawi, on small island (Curtis, 2565). 
This seems to form a regular small bush, very unlike the 
habit of any of the other species. The small white flowers 
and the short thick capsule half covered by the calyx are 
remarkable points about it.
