above and indistinctly marked beneath; petiole thick, half an 

 inch long. Male flowers not seen. Female flowers axillary, 

 solitary, on short stout peduncles a quarter of an inch long, with 

 several small ovate acute bracts; pedicel short and stout; 

 perianth caducous; ovary \ inch long, with a rather large, 

 circular, entire fleshy stigma. 



Woods on the banks of the streams, Padang. 



The only plant seen was past the flowering stage, and 

 description is necessarily very incomplete, but it is so distinct 

 that I venture to describe it. In the solitary axillary flowers 

 it resembles G. imiflora, King, but it is very distinct in its 

 smaller, ovate, very coriaceous leaves, in which the nerves are 

 very much more numerous. 



TERNSTRCEMIACEiE. 



*6. .\nneslea CRASSiPES, Hook; Ridley, op. cit. p. 304. 

 Common on the ridges from 3,300 feet to the Padang at 6,000 

 feet; a small tree or shrub, in frnit at this time, the fruiting 

 calyx red. 



Distribution. Hills of Mt. Ophir and Perak. 



*7. Adinandra villosa, Chuisy; Ridley, op. cit. p. 304. 

 Collected by Robinson at 5,000 to 5,600 feet. I did not see 

 this plant on this occasion. 



Distribution. Perak and Tavoy. 



*8. Adinandka angulata, RidL op. cit. p. 304. Origin- 

 ally collected by Robinson in this locality. I met with it in the 

 woods near the Teku River at 4,600 feet elevation; a big tree 

 for the genus. The flowers are white and large, the bud 

 conical, half an inch long. The sepals ovate, glabrous, 

 imbricate, with rounded tips J inch long. Petals lanceolate, 

 thick and fleshy. Stamens numerous, J inch long; filament 

 flat, rather broad, nearly glabrous; anthers acuminate, covered 

 with long hairs; ovary ovoid-conic, tapering into the style, 

 glabrous. Endemic. 



*9. GoRDONiA imbricata. King; Ridley, op. cit. p. 305. 

 A shrub or bush only a few feet tall usually, the flowers 

 creamy white. The petals are rather peculiar in having a 

 brown coriaceous patch on the back. 



I found a plant with broadly fasciated branches on the 

 Padang across the Teku. It is plentiful from the ridges just 

 above Wray's Camp to the Padang at 6,000 feet altitude. 



*io. Schima Noronh^, Reinwdt.; Ridley, op. cit. p. 305. 

 A fairly large branched tree on the banks of the camp stream 

 on the Padang, in flower up to nearly 6,000 feet. 



Distribntion. Hills of Burmah, the Malay Peninsula and 

 islands. 



*ii. Pentaphylax Malayana, Ridl. op. cit. p. 305. 

 Very common on the upper ridges and on the Padang, and 

 very conspicuous from its bright red terminal leaves forming 

 conspicuous patches of colour all over this district. It is a 



October, 1915. J
