221. T). VENUSTA, BldL 



This remarkable plant was abundant on the upper part of 

 Gunong Berumban at 6,000 feet, but the flowers were 

 neai-ly all destroyed by some insect. Its tall woody stem and 

 serrate leaves with prominent veins make it a veiy striking 

 plant and quite unlike any other species. It occurs also at 

 the Semaugko Pass. 



222. D. HispiPULA, Bidl. 



What appears to be a form of this, but was only in bud, was 

 met with in the Telom Woods. It is al)undant on the 

 Taiping Hills. 



228. D. (§ Heteroboea) lanceolata, n. ,sj). 



Stem woody, covered with densely appressed hairs. Leaves 

 lanceolate acuminate, decurrent to the base of the petiole, 

 closely and finely dentate, dark green sprinkled with pale hairs 

 al>ove, beneath thickly hairy on the nerves; young leaves 

 thickly pubescent all over. Peduncles slender, solitary or 

 in pairs, pubescent. Bracts linear, acuminate, i inch long, 

 narrow, hairy, pubescent. Sepals lanceolate acute, densely 

 silky hairy, i inch long. Corolla glalirous, 1 inch long, tube 

 dilate gradually upwards, white with yellow spot in the 

 mouth. Stamens filaments, filiform, straight. Anthers 

 glitltrous. Style and ovary thickly glandular, pubescent. 

 Capsule narrow, cylindric, over 1 inch long, pubescent. 

 Cameron's plateau on the way to Clunong Iran. Messrs. 

 Robinson and Kloss brought a single specimen of this plant, 

 which is certainly allied to D. /(n^ctafa, Ridl., l)ut there is 

 no white central bar on the leaf, the peduncles are larger, the 

 sepals wider and the corolla shorter and differently coloured. 



224. B. crinita, J(((]i. 



Occurs plentifully from Tapah up to about the 12th mile, 

 but there it seems to stop. 



225. D. ALBiNus, Bidl. 



The type of this species is a plant obtained on Gunong Batu 

 Puteh l)y Wray, and differs from a plant most abundant 

 on Telom in its being much less hairy or, more correctly, 

 in possessing much shorter hair. This may be a slightly 

 different local form, or perhaps due to some accident in 

 drying. The Telom plant was 4 feet or more tall and 

 often branched. The stem olive-fuscous and thickly viscid- 

 hairy. Leaves dark green above, paler beneath, with a 

 purple midrib. The panicles w^ere ixsually four in the upper 

 axils ; peduncles 4 inches long and diehotomously branched. 

 The flowers are I inch long and pendulous. Sepals lanceo- 

 late purplish. Corolla tube f inch long, the upper lol)es 

 oblong truncate, lower one longer, the two outer ones olilong,
