Common and large; sandy spots at Pramau, near Pekan. 
В. LUTESCENS, Весс. 
At the foot of a lofty tree іп Tahan woods; only three specimens found. Тһе whole 
plant of a yellowish-white colour. This fits Beccari's description of the plant, which he 
got at Mattan in Borneo, fairly well, and will not agree with any other known to me. 
THISMIA ASEROE, Весс. 
In the woods at Kota Glanggi. 
I will take the opportunity here to mention that I have been fortunate enough to 
meet with a species of Geomitra, apparently G. episcopalis, Becc., in Perak. І found 
two specimens, one in fruit, the other in flower, in the dense jungles on the Larut Hills, 
near the Tea Gardens, and on the slopes of Gunong Hijau. Тһе very small plant had a 
thick mass of roots at the base, forming a tuber-like structure. Тһе flower was burnt- 
sienna coloured (not “croceus” as Beccari describes) so perhaps it may be a distinct 
species. "This is a new genus for the Peninsula.

О. anceps, Lindl. 
Passir Loyang, Pahang River. 
This is the commonest species of Oberonia here, and is easily known by its long stems 
covered with the rather short curved leaves, and its rat-tailed spike of ochre-yellow 
flowers so closely crowded that the lips seem to be the only portion of the flower visible. 
The lips are retuse rather than crenulate.
