Lankawi, common (Curtis, 2564), ‘“‘ Chapah batu.” 
A stout shrubby plant, with the stems covered with a 
very thin white tomentum looking as if whitewashed, but 
rather silvery. The long inflorescences bear, at intervals of 
an inch or more, a pair of large stiff bracts closely appressed 
to the stem, and like the whole of the inflorescence, except 
the corolla, covered with a thin white wool. There is a 
pair of flowers in each pair of bracts, nearly sessile. Three 
calyx segments are connate into one sepal, and the corolla 
in the same way has some of its segments connate. The stout 
woolly capsule is also peculiar. It is a curious and handsome 
plant.
