EASTERN COAST ОЕ THE MALAY PENINSULA. 387 
HJEMODORACE Ж. 
PELIOSANTHES ALBIDA, Baker. 
Tahan woods. 
There are also several others in the collection which I cannot match with any 
described in the ‘Flora of British India. Most came from the thick woods on the 
banks of the Tahan. 
AMARYLLIDEA. 
Hypoxis AUREA, Lour. 
Meadows at Blay Manis, Pahang River. 
This has not been recorded previously from the Malay Peninsula. ‘I have, however, 
also received it from Bangtaphan in Siam. 
CURCULIGO LATIFOLIA, Dryand. 
Common in the woods at Pekan and Kota Glanggi. 
I do not know whether the curious property of the fruit of this plant is anywhere 
recorded. It is very succulent and has a taste of sweet cucumbers; but after eating 
one or two everything eaten or drunk tastes almost unbearably sweet, the effect lasting 
for some hours. 
CRINUM ASIATICUM, Linn. 
Common on the sea-shore and for some way up the Pahang River. 
C. ENSIFOLIUM; Roxb. ? 
In open pastures at Kwala Mahang, and up the river as far as Temerloh. 
I am by no means certain of the correctness of this identification, but it seems nearer 
to this species than to any other in the * Flora of British India.’ 
EURYCLES AMBOINENSIS, Salisb. | 
In sandy places near villages at Kwala Pahang. Not in flower. This is not recorded 
from the Peninsula in the ‘Flora of British India.’ I have no doubt but that it is 
native. It occurs scantily in sandy places near the shores in various parts of the 
Peninsula, but very seldom flowers. 
ІЛІЛАСЕЖ. 
SMILAX CALOPHYLLA, Wall. 
Woods, Pulau Tawar and Tahan River. 
S. HErrEni, А. DC. : 
Very common in thickets in open country, all along the Pahang River (e.g. at 
Kalambalai, Kwala Mahang, and Temerloh), also in Kelantan at Kamposa. 
DRACHNA TERNIFLORA, Roxb. 
Woods near the shore, Rumpin River; Tahan woods.
