992 MR. H. N. RIDLEY ON THE FLORA OF THE 
ACANTHACE. 
THUNBERGIA FRAGRANS, Roxb. 
Kalang Kasai, near Pekan. 
I cannot say whether this was wild here, as it was brought in by the collectors. I 
have not seen it elsewhere wild in the Peninsula, but it is tolerably common in cultiva- 
tion, and often occurs as an escape in Singapore. It is no more fragrant here than in 
Ceylon. 
Т. LAURIFOLIA, Lindl. 
In woods and thickets. Pulau Manis; Kwala Tembeling. 
EBERMAIERA GRIFFITHIANA, Т. Anders 
Damp spots in the Tahan woods. It also occurs in Singapore in the Fern valley at 
 Bukit Timah. 
Е. LONGIFOLIA, Nees. 
Tahan woods. 
Common. Flowers white, with a maroon-pink stain in the mouth. 
Е. SETIGERA, Nees. 
Prostrate plant. Damp spots in the woods at Kota Glanggi. 
RUELLIA REPENS, Linn. 
Tahan Valley. 
HEMIGRAPHIS CONFINIS, Т. Anders. 
Very common by roadsides, and in dry spots along the Pahang River at Pekan, 
Renchong, and Mahang. 
LEPIDAGATHIS LONGIFOLIA, Wight. 
Woods at Kota Glanggi and Pulau Tawar. 
Common through the dense jungles of the interior of the Peninsula at Selangor, 
Sungei Ujong, and Malacca. The flowers are dull lurid purple. I have never met with 
fruits, so its genus must still be doubtful. 
ACANTHUS EBRACTEATUS, Vahl. 
Kwala Pahang and up the river as far as Katapong. 
This, the white-flowered species, is common in maritime mud, on the coast and up 
tidal rivers. The seeds pounded have a great reputation among the natives in cases of 
boils.
