Camps VI b and VI c and VII to VIII, 3600 to 5500 ft. ; Camps VIII to IX, 4900 to 

 1100 ft. 



A form "with the leaves sprinkled with hairs ahove. 



This species is allied to I. Herzogii, Schum., of Papua, differing in its hairiness, 

 and the more distinctly obovate petals and broader lip. The flowers are described as 

 ranging from -niiite to pink.

 Camp VI h, 3900 ft., and Camp VI c, 5500 ft. 



The genus Terminthodia was founded by myself on a shrub obtained on Gunong 

 Tahan in the Malay Peninsula. It is allied to Fvodia. Its distinctive characters were 

 its alternate simple leaves and winged seeds. In this species the leaves are opposite, 

 and there is, so far as I can see, but one (instead of two) winged seeds in each coccus. 

 The habit and general form of the flowers are the same in both species, excej^t that 

 I see in this species four staminodes alternating with the stamens each consisting of a 

 short filament adnate to the petal and an abortive triangular anther.
