EASTERN COAST OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. 295 
AFZELIA PALEMBANICA, Baker ? 
Big trees of * Merabau," in fruit, were seen in several places along the Pahang River, 
probably belonging to this species. 
BAUHINIA INTEGRIFOLIA, Roxb. 
This beautiful climber is very common up all the rivers, and forms a conspicuous object 
in the scenery, with its masses of red flowers turning orange. 
There is a curious plant, often met with in these jungles, which has very broad, almost 
triangular leaves, 3 inches long by 6 inches across, the upper margin very deeply excavate 
and the points much divaricate. It is evidently a Bawhinia in a young state, and I found 
it eventually developing into what appeared to be this species. This form, known to the 
natives of Kemaman as “ Akar Dow,” I have met with in many places in the Peninsula, 
but never where (as in Singapore) В. integrifolia is absent. 
В. ($ PHANERA) SUFFRUTICOSA, n. sp. Frutex magna, cirrhosa, scandens, ramis ligneis,

elevatis; petiolus ultra pollicem longus.  Stipule magne, рарутабеге, obovate, 
apicibus rotundatis (exsiccatze pallide brunnez), majuscule circiter pollicem longze. 
Flores, in racemo brevi, breviter pedicellati, bibracteati, pedicellis puberulis. Sepala |

Stamina tria, glabra, ап ете superne acuminate. Stylus crassus. Stigma haud 
obliquum, magnum, rotundatum. Ovarium sericeo-pubescens, canaliculatum. Legu- 
men oblongum, 43 pollices longum, 2 pollices latum, ligneum, mox dehiscens, nitidum, 
atro-brunneum, stylo elongato in dehiscentia fisso terminato, marginibus leguminis 
haud elevatis, haud incrassatis. Semina plana, brunnea, 2-3, circiter pollicem 
longa. LS 
At Kwala Tembeling, in thickets on the river-bank. I was unable to get open flowers ; 
the buds were far advanced when we were on the return journey, but I saw none open, 
and have never seen the plant elsewhere. It is an ally of B. ferrugineti, Roxb., but in 
foliage and habit quite distinct. 
ORMOSIA, Sp. 
Katapong, near Pekan. : | 
I have never met with flowers of this fine tree, which occurs in several places in 
Singapore. It has a compact head of deep green leaves, and the pod is woody and 
distinetly beaked, containing one or, rarely, two somewhat flattened scarlet seeds. I 
should take it to be O. microsperma, Baker, but that is described as having a subcom- 
pressed red orbicular pod with thin valves, and the seeds 1 inch long and turgid, whereas 
this species has a rather flattened seed nearly 4 inch broad. ' 
CssALPINIA BONDUCELLA, Flem. 
Fairly common on the sea-coast, Kwala Pahang.
