Clarke in the materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula 
edited by the late Sir G. King and Mr. J. S. Gamble, which 
is, in turn, no doubt also the species referred to as Ei. 
Leysmannii by Mr. Ridley in his account of an expedition 
to Temengoh in the Journal of the Straits Branch of the 
Royal Asiatic Society in 1909. But while the two are so 
closely related, they differ very materially in the points 
to which Dr. Stapf directs attention, and more particularly 
in respect of their habit, for E. Teijsmannii, as limited by 
Mr. Clarke, is a “shrubby creeper,” and is spoken of by 
Mr. Ridley as “easily recognised by its climbing habit, 
scrambling to some height up bushes and often forming a 
bulky mass.” Whether Mr, Clarke’s species be identical 
with the original Z, Teijsmannii, T. And.,a plant cultivated 
in the Royal Botanic Garden, Calcutta, originally sent there 
from Java, is not clear. All that is definitely known of 
that plant is that it too is one “with a straggling habit, 
and therefore unlike the subject of our plate, which forms 
an erect shrub some 3 feet in height. Grown in a 
Tropical House under the conditions suitable for Begonias 
it thrives well and flowers in April. As a garden plant it 
is comparable in value with the other species of the genus 
Pseuderanthemum already in cultivation, an African member 
of which, P. seticalyx, Stapf, has already been figured at 
t. 8244 of this work. 
Description.— Shrub, about 3 ft. high ; branches terete 
at first thinly adpressed pubescent, ultimately glabrous, 
Leaves lanceolate, long-acuminate, widely repandly undu- 
late, base cuneate or rounded, 43-10 in. long, 13-21 in, 
wide, green, soft, minutely pubescent on the nerves and 
elsewhere sparingly minutely rigidly hairy, lateral nerves

to 3 in. long, oblique, those higher up much shorter, the 
uppermost very short, all with terminal congested 3-5- 
flowered cymes ; pedicels ultimately 1-14 lin. long, thinly 
adpressed pubescent: bracts lanceolate or subulate from 
a rather wide base, I$ lin. long, thinly pubescent; bracteoles 
like the bracts but smaller. Calyx 2-23 lin, long, thinly
