16 Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 



glabrous, the lower pale when dry ; length 2'5 to 4 in., breadth '8 to 

 ]-5 in., petiole '4 to '8 in., strigose. Umhels axillary or terminal, 

 usually solitary, 4- 5-flowered, on slender, sparsely strigose peduncles 

 shorter than the leaves. Flowers (including the stamens) '5 in. long. 

 Calyx-tube infundibuliform, sparsely adpressed-pilose, nearly as long 

 as the slender strigose pedicel ; the mouth with 4 narrowly triangular 

 acuminate, erect, persistent teeth nearly as long as the tube. Petals 

 4, ovate, acuminate, glabrous, slightly longer than the calyx-teeth. 

 Stamens 8, slightly unequal, the alternate 4 shorter but of the same 

 shape as the longer 4, the base in all emarginate, scarcely lobed but 

 with a very short process behind. Scales of disc 4, their apices 

 broadly truncate and slightly toothed. Capsule globose-ovoid, '25 to 

 •3 in. long.

A species near to A. hirsutus, Korfch., but differing in being glabrons and \n 

 having larger flowers which, according to Mr. Wray, are pink. The umbels of this, 

 when ia bad, are enclosed in oblong, deciduous, sparsely strigose bracts. 



2. Anerincletstus Scortechinii, King, n. sp. A slender shrub, 

 3 to 4 feet high ; young branches, petioles and inflorescence with many 

 spreading and sub-adpressed, gland-tipped hairs. Leaves very unequal 

 (one of each pair very small), oblong, slightly narrowed to the rounded 

 base, the apex acuminate, the edges ciliate ; main nerves 3 to 5, the 

 minor nerves transverse, rather faint ; both surfaces usually glabrous, 

 the upper sometimes sparsely strigose, the main nerves on both and the 

 transverse on the lower surfaces bristle-hairy ; length of the larger leaf 

 of the pair 2 5 to 4 in., breadth *8 to J "4 in. ; petiole '3 to 4 in ; the 

 smaller leaf of the pair from one-fourth to one-half as large and sub- 

 sessile. Inflorescence axillary, solitary on a slender peduncle about as 

 long as the smaller leaf, umbellately cymose, 6- to JO-flowered. Calyx- 

 tube globose-campanulate, minutely mealy tomentose, about as long as 

 the pedicel ; teeth 4, narrow, reflexed, each ending in a bristle and the 

 margins bearing 6 or 8 long straight hairs with small glandular apices. 

 Petals 4, ovate, glabrous, shorter than the calyx-teeth, each with a 

 slender, gland-tipped, reflexed hair at the apex. Anthers 8, equal, acute, 

 very slightly lobed at the base and inappendiculafe ; style thick, 

 stiaight; stigma small. Ovary crowned bj7 obtuse, sometimes crenulate 

 scales. 



Perak ; Scortechini 51, 450 ; Curtis. 



This closely resembles A. Gurtisii, Stapf, but is distinguished at once by the 



calyx which has its tube covered with minute mealy pubescence while the teeth are 



long, reflexed, with long glandular hairs on the edges, whereas in A. Gurtisii the 



calyx-tube bears many long glaadular hairs and the teeth are triangular, minute
