long'or than the calyx, lobes five, shorter than the tube. 

 Stamens four included; filaments long, but free only in the 

 upper part of the tube ; anther linear oblong. Style cylin- 

 dric, stigma of two large elliptic lobes. Capsule urn shaped, 

 two celled, many seeded, seeds subquadrate brown punctate. 

 One species in Malay Peninsula. 



111. K. MONTANA, V. Sp, 



Whole plant 6-18 inches tall, often branched, stem hairy. 

 Leaves elliptic to lanceolate acuminate, base narrowed to the 

 petiole, dark green above, whitish beneath, glabrous except 

 for a few scattered hairs above, beneath red scvirfy pubescent 

 on the nerves ; nerves 13 j^airs, conspicuovis beneath slender, 

 meeting in intra-marginal loops, 3| inches long, 1] inch wide ; 

 petiole red hairy, \-\ inch long. Stipules, \ inch long, ovate 

 cuspidate foliaceous, green. Peduncle red hairy, H inch 

 long. Cymes three flowered, several in a head, with ovate green 

 ]»racts glabrous. Calyx campanulate glabrous lobes five, 

 obovate and unec^uals deeply separated green. Corolla, \ inch 

 long, glabrous white, tube narrowed in the middle dilate 

 upwards, hairy in the mouth, lobes short. Stamens four; 

 filaments running along the tube w^all and adnate to it for 

 most of their length ; anthers fairly large. Style and stigma 

 nearly as long as the stamens. Capsule, \ inch long, glab- 

 rous. Disc elevated. 



Telom, abundant in the forests in wet spots by streams. Also 

 met with in Selaugor at Ginting Bidei, and on Bukit Hitam 

 (Ridley, 7411), and on the Track to Semangko Pass from 

 Kuala Kubu. 



This cannot, I think, be referred to Hedyotis, though it somewhat 

 resembles H. stijmlata on account of the form of the corolla ; 

 the stipules and bracts are peculiar, lieing quite foliaceous. 

 In habit it resembles Ophiorrhiza, but the capsule is different. 



112. Ophiorehiza brubescens, Wall. 



Telom and Gunong Berumban. 



I take this to be the plant intended by King in his description ; 

 but a plant distributed by him under this name (Perak 

 Kunstler, 5853) and quoted in the "Materials" is a small 

 plant with hairy leaf margins, and not a completely glabrous 

 plant except for the inflorescence, as he describes 0. erubes- 

 cens. The Telom plant is our largest species, tall with broad 

 glabrous leaves. Flowers, | inch long, white, and large 

 capsules. It occurs also in Penang. 



ervbescevs is also a native of Burmah.
