J. Matneaytt, C. B. Clarke? 
On the sea-shore at Tringganu. 
This may be distinet. It has larger flowers than any other species I have gathered 
here. Leaves coriaceous, glabrous, with fairly long petioles. I have never seen this any- 
where else. 
OLEA MARITIMA, Wall. r 
A common bush on the sandy heaths of Pramau and Kwala Pahang. 
APOCYNACES. 
WILLUGHBEIA EDULIS, Roxb. 
Fruits of what appeared to be this species were found upon the ground in the Tahan 
woods. They were globose and of a pale orange-colour, with pink seeds, and like all, or 
nearly all, the Willughbeia fruits, eatable. 
Big lianes of this, or perhaps W. Burbidgei, often barred the way through the 
jungles. |

marginibus presertim ad basin ciliatis, tubo abrupte dilatato ad apicem, squamee 
in fauce nulle. Stamina filamentis brevissimis flexuosis, anthere conice acute. 
Stylus brevis, gracilis. Stigma acuminatum pubescens. Ovarium conicum. Васса 
elliptica, obtusa, 3 pollices longa, 14 pollices lata, armeniaca. 
Pramau, near Pekan. 
A slender liane, climbing over and through bushes, full of gutta. This is the best 
eatable Willughbeia fruit I have met with. The fruits, which are apricot-coloured, are 
soft and sweet, but the large quantity of gutta in them interferes much with the eating 
of them. The species is called “ Buah Padang” by the natives; the most nearly allied 
species to it is W. tenuiflora, Dyer, which, however, has pubescent shoots and cymes, and 
a hemispheric ovary becoming a pyriform fruit. 
Curtocarpus Матмелуп, Dyer. 
Temerloh. 
RAUWOLFIA SERPENTINA, Benth. 2 
In villages and waste ground under trees at Pekan and Pulau Tijau; also found at 
Tringganu.
