all drying green, paler beneath. Racemes axillary, two to 

 each node, 4 cm. long on peduncles 1 cm. long. Bracts 

 green, oblong oblanceolate, tips rounded, midrib conspicuous 

 2 cm. long, 0.6 cm. across. Flowers solitary in the bracts. 

 Calyx lobes thin, lanceolate, 0.4 cm. long, green. Corolla 

 yellow with purple stripes 1.5 cm. long, upper lobe narrow 

 subacute, lower one hairy, s[)aringly on the disc. Capsule 

 4-seeded hardly clubbed, nearly straight, shortly abruptly 

 cuspidate, 1.2 cm. long. Seeds ovate acuminate brown, 

 verrucose, 0.3 cm. long. 

 Allied to J. selangorica but the bract are not obovate as in 

 that species. 



GESNERACE^. 



81. Aeschynanthus longicaltx, var. superb a. 



Calyx dilated upwards 6.5 cm. (2| inches) long, the lobes 

 0.8 cm. across at the base 3 cm. (\\ inches) long. Corolla 

 9 cm. (3i inches) long. In the original description the 

 flowers were much smaller, the calyx 1.25 inch long, the 

 lobes being half an inch in length, the corolla 3 inches long. 

 The calyx in this variety is nearly as long as the corolla 

 tube, it is dilated widely upwards from the base, the 

 lobes are rather ensiform than lanceolate. The style is 

 shorter than the calyx with a large rhomboid stigma. 

 The leaves vary from lanceolate acuminate to elliptic obtuse 

 or ovate with a rounded base ; there are four pairs of veiy 

 faint nerves. 



The original plant was found at the Semangko Pass and 

 it was also collected by Scortechini and Wray on Gunong 

 Batu Puteh in South Perak. Tliough the type form has 

 considerably smaller flowers, with the calyx shorter in 

 proportion to the corolla, I do not think it advisable to 

 separate this splendid form specifically. 



82. DiDYMOCARPus ALBiNA, Bidleij. 



Distrib. — Perak (Gunong Batu Puteh and Telom). 



83. Orchadocarpa lilacina, Ridlexj. 



The lower lip is 2 cm. long and 1.7 cm. wide, the median 



lope being 0.6 cm. long. 

 Distrib. — Gunong Batu Puteh, Perak. 



APETAL^. 



84. Nepenthes sanguinea, Masters. 



Distrib. — High mountains of Malacca and Perak. 



85. Nepenthes ampullaria, var. 



There are no pitchers with the specimens of inflorescence but 

 these seem to be only referable to this lowland species. 

 They differ somewhat, however, in the laxer and less hairy 

 panicle and longer linear bracts. I have never seen it from 

 above 1,000 feet before.
