Perak, Ulu Bataiig Padaiig on the Pahaiig border. Flowers 

 greenish white. The genus Beddomea has been hitherto 

 confined to South India with two species, one B, Indica, 

 Hook., a shrub with pinnate leaves, and one B. s'nnpUc\folia, 

 Bedd., with simple leaves. The addition of another species 

 from the Malay Peninsula is of considei'able interest. This 

 species resembles B. indica, most in the form of its flowers and 

 especially its stamens ; but in its simple leaves and arboreous 

 habit it resembles B. sinqjilicifolia, Bedd.
