EASTERN COAST OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. 309 
CANTHIUM HORRIDUM, Blume. 
Bushes in open country. Pulau Tawar, Pulau Chengei, Kwala Berar. A common 
shrub. 
C. ANGUSTIFOLIUM, Roxb., var. ? 
Kadondong, Pulau Tawar woods. 
Т аш doubtful about this plant, though it does not appear to be rare. I have it also 
from Sungei Ujong. The young shoots are decidedly pubescent, with a red downy 
pubescence. 
I have several other species of Canthiwm from the Malay Peninsula which are not 
identifiable with any in the ‘ Flora of British India.’ 
MUSSÆNDA MUTABILIS, Hemsl. 
Tahan woods. 
A very beautiful plant, probably the finest in the genus; rather widely scattered over 
the Peninsula, and common in some places, as at Kwala Lumpur. It climbs over 
bushes, but to no great height. The flowers are large, star-shaped, crimson-scarlet, soon 
becoming orange-yellow. 
M. GLABRA, Vahl. 
Renchong, and many other places along the rivers. 
This is the common Malay Peninsula species. It is not rare to find it with the white 
calyx-lobes entirely suppressed. 
. M. VILLOSA, Wall. 
Climbing over trees at Kwala Tembeling. 
This is a very fine plant, with very large white lobes of the calyx, and rather large 
flowers for the section. I did not find any fruiting specimen ; but though the corollas 
had fallen, the calyx-teeth, which are rather large, still remained on the young ovary.

ADENOSACME LONGIFOLIA, Wall. 
Kwala Tembeling; Tahan River woods. 
This is described as а bush with very brittle branches in the ‘Flora of British India,’ 
but here it is always а simple herb, at most a little woody at the base of the stem. 1% 
inhabits damp rocky hollows in deep jungle. 
А. FASCICULATA, Miq. ? 
Ап (always?) unbranched shrub, vith shiny white stems, and lanceolate acuminate 
leaves 9 inches long and 2 broad, acute at both ends, tapering into a petiole, drying 
fuscous, lighter beneath, covered on both sides with short, scattered, appressed hairs; 
nerves over twenty pairs, usually rather horizontal. Panicle short, terminal, about an 
inch long. Stipules lanceolate acute. Flowers 4 inch long. Calyx-lobes short, blunt, 
with large glands. Corolla-tube cylindric, with very short ovate lobes, glandular, 
pubescent, yellow. Fruit small, globose, not ripe.
