Mount Matang, No. ■202, July 7, 1924, altitude about 800 m. 



A species previously known only from Java and of which 

 a no more complete description has been published than 

 Blume's oiiginal very short and imperfect one. From this 

 description, and Koorders" note on Blume's type, it is clear 

 that the specimen cited above really represents this species, 

 which, as Koorders notes, is widely different from the other 

 species of the genus in its habit ; it is, nevertheless, a true 

 Lindernia. The largest leaves on the specimen cited are 

 12 cm long and 4.5 cm wide, distinctly larger than in 

 Blume's type, which has leaves 6 to 8 cm long.
