156 Journal of the F.M.S. Museums. [Vol. VI, 



the plant was originally described were not fully developed, so 

 I have given a fuller description of it, 



83. PsYCHOTRiA CONDENSA, King & Gamble. Small 

 compact shrub, epiphytic, with close-set, coriaceous, lanceo- 

 . late-acuminate leaves with slightly narrowed base, i inch long 

 by half an inch wide, glabrous, shining above, with the nerves 

 almost invisible ; petiole -^q inch long. Flowers in short dense 

 cymes, shorter than the leaves, ^^ inch long. Calyx shallow, 

 with 5 very short teeth, glabrous. Corolla thick, tubular, 

 scurfy outside, the lobes oblong-obtuse, not half as long as the 

 tube, inside white, woolly round the stamens, glabrous above 

 and below. Stamens with short filaments, shorter than the 

 oblong-obtuse, rather large anthers. Style long, slender, 

 glabrous, bifid at the tip. Fruit nearly a quarter of an inch 

 long, oblong, very obscurely ribbed. 



On Gunong Tahan to the summit, 7,186 feet elevation. 



Distribution. Perak and Gunong Berumbun near Telom. 



A single flowering specimen also got on the Padang differs 

 in the thinner leaves in remoter pairs and the flowers just twice 

 as large. A very little-known plant, of which the flowers have 

 never been adequately described. 



CAMPANULACE^. 



*84. Pentaphragma grandis, Ridl. op. cit. p. 312. 

 Abundant from Wray's Camp to the Padang in wet shady 

 spots. Endemic. The petals are oblong and retuse, yellowish 

 white ; the tube turns purplish within before withering, as it 

 does in P. Ridleyi, King. 



VACCINIACEiE. 



85. Yxcci'^iuu ScoKYECumu, King & Gamble. A shrub 

 with rose-pink flowers. On the ridge by Bukit Bandera and 

 on the top of Gunong Tahan, altitude 7,186 feet. It occurs 

 also in Perak at high elevations. V accinium buxifolium, Hook, 

 fil., of Kinabalu, is closely allied to this plant; but the leaves 

 of V. Scortechinii are rounder and distinctly gland-dotted 

 beneath, and the flowers are pubescent. 



*86. Vaccinium Teysmanni, Miq. ; Ridl. op. cit. p. 313. 

 A common shrub on the Padang, in fruit only. 



Distribution. Perak and Java. 



87. Vaccinium Kunstleri, King & Gamble. A shrub in 

 fruit, Gunong Tahan. Not epiphytic here. 



Distribution. Perak. 

 *88. Vaccinium pubicarpum, Ridl. op. cit. p. 313. A 

 large branching shrub or treelet, very common on the stream- 

 banks in the woods of the Padang. Also collected on K'luang 

 Terbang by Barnes. 



*89. Vaccinium longibracteatum, Ridl. op. cit. p. 313; 

 antea, p. 49. A large bush common on the ridges of the track 

 and the Padang. The original specimens were only in fruit, 

 but I got flowers on this occasion and also received a flowering 

 specimen from Gunong Ulu Kali, Selangor.
