' Materials for a Flora of the Malay Peninsula,' gives the Telom 

 plant under the variety attenuata of L. amara, but it is very 

 different from the other plants included under that variety, 

 and should have at least a varietal name. 



THYMEL.EACE.E. 



61. Daphne pendula, Sm. Ic. Ined. ii. 34, t. 34 [296] . 



Distrib. This pretty shrub is not rare in the hill woods of 

 the Malay Peninsula, Burma and Malaya. 



BALANOPHORACE^. 



Balanophora truncata, RidL, n. sp. [296]. 



Rhizoma arete pustulosum. Folia ad basin pedunculi 3, 

 ovato-oblonga, apicibus rotundatis vel emarginatis, 5-15 mm. 

 longa, g-io mm. lata, summa 2, oblonga, majora, truncata, 2 

 cm. longa, i cm. lata. Pedunculns masculus 7 cm. longus, basi 

 ad 3 cm. nudds, 3 mm. crassus. Flores in spica dissiti, circiter 

 30, sessiles. Alabastra transversim oblonga. Sepala 2, ex- 

 teriora transverse oblonga, 4 mm. lata, multo breviora ; 

 interiora liiieari-oblonga, apicibus incurvis, exterioribus asqui- 

 longa, I mm. lata. Andrceciuin transverse oblongum, 3 mm. 

 latum, antheris plurime dense congestis, serie una. 



The solitary specimen in the collection is a male inflor- 

 escence with the leaves and a small part of the rhizome 

 attached. It has no trace of female flowers, and evidently 

 belongs to an unisexual species, such as B. Polyandra, Griff., 

 which, however, is a very much larger plant. It is quite 

 distinct from this in the very unequal and dissimilar sepals, 

 the upper and lower ones being much wider and quite 

 truncate, with a long straight edge at the apex.
