A much smaller plant than Н. angustifolia, and of quite a different habit. 
ERANTHEMUM MALACCENSE, C. B. Clarke. 
Thickets at Pekan. By no means so common here as in Sungei Ujong and Маасса. 
The corolla, described as pale purple by Mr. Clarke, is rather of a blue-violet colour. 
E. AnDERSONI, Mast. (Е. Blumei,Teysm.; Anders. Indian Acanthacee, in Journ. Linn. 
Soc. ix. 1867, p. 523.)

It is stated to be wild in Borneo. 
JUSTICIA GENDARUSSA, Linn. f. 
Common in gardens at Pekan, Kalambalai, Rumpin River, and also met with far up 
the Tahan River. It is often cultivated for medicine, under its Malay name of “балда 
Rusa." j | 
It often remains long after other traces of former cultivation have disappeared, and” 
then looks as if native. It never seems to fruit, however, and I doubt its being wild in 
any place in which I have seen it, including the Tahan Valley locality. Here, it is true, 
there was evidently never a village. The plant grew in a small patch on the river-bank, 
and not far off were some plants of the Keladi ( Colocasia antiquorum, Schott), which also 
appeared at intervals along the river-banks and were also evidently not wild. I imagine
