Gunong Tahan, 5,000-6,000 ft. Flowers deep sky-blue. Growing 

 among mo.ss in damp places (5473) ; on wet rocks (5479), 



The a^ldition of tlie genus Gentiana to the Flora of the Malay 

 Peninsula is an interesting one. The species is closely allied to 

 G. hornecnsis, Hook, fil., from Kinabalu, dittering chiefly in the 

 quite entire leaves, rounded tips of the petals and entire, not 

 lobed, folds between them. The anthers are narrower and more 

 acute. 



The plants collected under the two numl)ers seem specifically 

 identical, but the specimens of No. 5473 are very much smaller 

 ■ than those of 5479.
