R. multicolor, Plate 6769 ; one only, R. Lampongum, Miquel, 
has not been introduced into cultivation; it has densely 
lepidote petioles, pedicels, ovary and capsule, and an obvious 
calyx. 
The plant here figured differs from the typical JL. 
javanicum, in the more flaccid smaller nerveless leaves, 
with the midrib on the upper surface so impressed as to 
be almost invisible, and in the paler flowers and longer 
corolla-tube. 
R. javanicum, var. tubiflora, was introduced by Messrs. 
Veitch’s excellent collector, Mr. Curtis, who gave as the 
localities Dator and Solok in Sumatra, and it flowered 
in their establishment in June of the present year. :
