Pekan. 
This common plant is remarkable for its very ornamental, large, pale pink grapes, 
which look very tempting, but have the peculiarly irritating effect on the mouth, common 
to most of the wild grapes, very strongly developed. 
С. FURCATA. Vitis furcata (М. Laws. ?). 
Kwala Tembeling. 
A fairly common vine, which I take to be the plant intended by Lawson. 
TETRASTIGMA LANCEOLARIA, Planch. 
On the islands up the Pahang River, and at Pulau Tawar; always near the river. 
The curious ribbon-like stems and the compact tufts of flowers and fruits give this 
plant a curious appearance. The berries are quite small, round, and white, no bigger 
than peas. 
PTERISANTHES GLABRA, n. sp. Seandens, glabra. Caules gracillimi. Folia trifoliolata, 
petiolis gracilibus, canaliculatis, pollicaribus, petiolulis ferme semipollicaribus, foliola 
tripollicaria vel paullo ultra pollicem lata, tenuia, lanceolata acuminata, basi angus- 
tata, venarum paribus tribus, in dentes marginales terminatis ; foliola lateralia quam 
terminalia minora, obliqua (dimidio interiore quam exterius angustiore). Кесер- 
tacula tenuia, plana, haud lobata, pedunculis gracilibus 3—4-pollicaribus, hippocre- 
pica, 3-4 pollices longa, pollicem lata. Flores masculi in pedicellis longibus 
ultra pollicem, gracilibus, minuti, globosi. Feminei immersi, dissiti, perianthiis 
parvis cupuliformibus ; ovaria rotundata, obscure 4—5-lobata. Васса non visse. 
Only once found in dense jungle far up the River Tahan. 
The glabrous foliage, simple receptacle curved into a semicircle, and remarkably long 
pedicels of the male flowers distinguish this plant from any other.

Pekan woods. 
Planchon's description, in DC. Monogr. Phan. vol. v. p. 419 (Ampelidez), is rather 
meagre, but I believe this is the plant he intended. It is not rare in the Peninsula. 1 
have it from Chan-chu-kang in Singapore and from Маасса. Тһе young leaves are 
lanceolate, with a very little red wool on the back, and the adult leaves are quite 
glabrous. The petiole joins the blade within its circumference, so that the leaf is 
subpeltate. 
P. pourra, Miq., var. LANCEOLATA. Folia lanceolata, superne glabra et polita. 
Pekan (Dr. Haviland). 
Т have this also from one or two other localities in the Peninsula. The form of the 
leaves is quite different from that of the common variety ; the inflorescence seems quite 
similar, however, and I do not think it is specifically distinct.
