170. Khododendbon Teysmanni, Mlq. 



An epiphyte on the high ridge behind Teloni Caiup. 



I think R. Teyxinanni should be kept as a distinct species from 

 R. javanicum as Mi({uel put it. It differs apparently con- 

 stantly from R. javan'waui. in its colour, pubescent ovary, 

 and hairy bases of the stamens. 



171. Kh. VVkayi, Kituj. 



Bush, on Telom Kidge and (lunoug Eerumlxm, in fruit. There 

 seem to be two forms, possibly species, of this. The typical 

 plant is a slindj about 4 or 5 feet tall with very coriaceous 

 lanceolate or oblong leaves, rather short, white beneath. 

 Flowers white spotted with red on the surface inside the 

 mouth with orange red stamens. This occurs in Perak and 

 on the Hulu Semangko liitlge, where Mr. Burn-Murdoch and 

 myself found it. 



The other var. dUptica, it. var., is a large shru!) or sniall tree, 15 

 feet tall, with longer and narrower leaves elliptic coriaceous, 

 and pale (but not white beneath). The ilowers pure white 

 unspotted. This occurs with the other variety on Hulu 

 Semangko, where Mr. Burn-Murdoch collected it, and is the 

 plant I ol)taii)ed on Gunong Berumban and also on the Telom 

 Kidge, and Mr. liobinson got it on Gunong Tahan. Mr. 

 Burn-Murdoch considered that the two plants o:i Hulu 

 Semangko were quite distinct specifically and perhaps they 

 should be separated. 



172. li. JASMINIFLOKUM, Hook. jU., var. PUNCTATA. 



Straggling shrub, epiphytic with ovate nearly sessile leaves 

 very coriaceous. Flowers rather smaller than in the ty])e, 

 white with bright pink spots in the mouth of the tube ; 

 pedicels pubescent slender, 1 inch long. 



Teluui Ridge; Taiping Hills (fiidleyj and probably all the 

 Perak ])lants mentioned by King and Gamble in the "Materi- 

 als." The type of R. jasunit'iflortnn was the plant obtained on 

 Mt. Ophir by Lobb, and figured in the "Botanical Magazine," 

 t. 4, 524. It appears to lie pccidiar to Mt. Ophir, where it 

 has often been collected — viz., by Loblj, Griffith., Maingay, 

 Derry, No. 624, and by myself. It differs in the flower 

 being pure white without spots, and the pedicels being thick 

 and barely .1 inch long, making the umbel very much 

 more compact and giving the whole plant a very different 

 appearance. The description in the " Materials " seems to 

 )je a mixture of these two plants, which seem distinct enough 

 to merit ^'arictal names at least.
