 Gunong Tahan. 5,000-5,600 ft. Flowers white, stamens brownish ; 

 strongly scented. (5513.) Apparently the same species as I 

 obtained on Kedali Peak, but a bigger and taller plant about 

 5 feet high. I had only one rather stunted plant from a some- 

 what exposed precipice. The calyx and con)lla-tube are pul^scent 

 in this plant. 



Zingiber gracile. Jack, in Mai. Misc. i. (1820) No. i. 1 (p. 831). 

 Gunong Tahan, 3,300 ft. (5365.) Exactly the ordinary form as far 

 as the specimen goes, but the field-note says : *' Flowers pale 

 yellow, bracts yellow, lower ones streaked with green : flower- 

 stalk dull red." The bracts of this species are normally dull 

 red.

perfect flower I was able to examine has a distinct little lacerate 



crest.
