pallide aurantiacis angustis, canaliculo medio profundo ; connectivo majusculo erecto, 
rotundato ovato subacuto. Stylus gracilis, albus, apice incrassato rostrato. 
Woods at Kwala Tahan. 
This plant is allied to Gastrochilus longiflora, Wall., but differs in the bilobed lip, 
which is not saccate as in Wallich's figure, and the staminodes shorter than the petals. 
ZINGIBER SPECTABILE, Griff. 
Common near Pulau Kinchi, Temerloh, Pulau Tawar, Kota Glanggi woods, and | 
Tahan River woods. 
This is a very noble plant, the large red spikes suggesting those of Tupeinocheilos. 
The flowers are light yellow, reticulately veined with black. It is common in many parts 
of the Peninsula. 
Z. GRACILE, Jack. 
Common. Kwala Tembeling. А form with a very long peduncle to the spike.

Z., sp. 
I found another Ginger growing in a stream in a very wet place in the Таһап woods, 
which had spikes like those of 2. gracile, borne on the ends of long, weak, leafy stems. 
The flowers were not opened. 
К ЖМРЕЕВТА PARVULA, King. 
Common on the banks of the Tahan River. 
This charming little plant is very different in appearance from other Kzempferias, and 
I think will prove generically distinct. It is abundant on stream-banks at about 1000 
feet altitude and above, on the top of Penang Hill, and at Thaiping in the Larut Hills. 
ALPINIA CONCHIGERA, Griff. 
A common plant in open sandy country, generally growing near ог in water. It forms 
small thickets about three feet high, and is called by the natives * Langkwas Pranting " 
(twiggy Alpinia). 
Common on the heaths at Kwala Pahang and Rumpin. 
A. mutica, Roxb. 
Pekan, and many places along the river-banks below this. In dense waterside thickets, 
also, Kwala Berar. 
А. MALACCENSIS, Roxb. 
Pulau Datoh, and other islets in the Pahang River. A very big, showy plant. 
An Alpinia with much more hairy fruits, found at Kwala Tembeling in dense thickets 
along the river-bank, may be distinct. 
AMOMUM MEGALOCHEILUS, Baker. (Achasma megalocheilus, Griff.) 
Common. Tahang woods, Pekan, Tanjong Gajah Mati, Pahdag River. This is a 
tolerably common plant, forming dense brakes on the river-banks.
