2 L. mataya'nus (Jack, mal. mise. vol. 1. Wall. in 
Roxb. fl. ind. 2. p. 301.) spikes axillary, many-flowered, erect, 
short; drupes globular, 5-celled; leaves lanceolate, mucronate, 
nearly veinless, glaucous beneath. h.S. Native of the plains 
of Singapore, abundant ; where it is called by the Malays Men- 
tada. A small, branching, dry shrub, exhibiting the peculiar 
habit of the family. Corollas funnel-shaped, downy, having the 
Segments bearded above beyond the base. The discovery of 
this species is remarkable as forming an exception to the gene- 
ral geographical distribution of the order Epacridee, a family 
almost exclusively confined to Australia, or at least to the 
Southern hemisphere. Singapore, situated at the extremity of 
the Malay peninsula, and forming as it were the connecting link 
between continental or Western India and the plains of the great 
astern Archipelago, partakes of this character in its Flora, 
which exhibits many remarkable points of coincidence with the 
Flora of both regions. A resemblance has been observed be- 
tween its productions and those of the northern frontier of Ben- 
gal, on the one hand, and of the Moluccas on the other, while 
the present plant connects it with the still more distant range of 
New Holland.
