EASTERN COAST ОҒ THE MALAY PENINSULA. 373. 
This is not a very rare plant in Singapore; it is to be found generally on trees in 
thick jungle, but never high up. I have seen a liane hanging from a tree in the dense 
woods of Bukit Timah garlanded with it. Тһе stems are usually about an inch long; 
the leaves, which are very unequal, are arranged in one plane; the flowers are pretty, 
but very fugacious.

On wet mossy trees far up the Tahan River. Numerous plants were growing here, but 
I obtained only one flower. I brought home a number of living plants, but owing to the 
carelessness of а coolie all perished. Тһе species is allied to P. sumatrana, Reichb. f., 
quite distinct in its much smaller flowers and narrower sepals and petals, and in the 
structure of the lip. It is of no cultural value. The flowers are about as large as those 
of P. cornucervi, Lindl.
