H. N. Ridley: Botany of Gunong Tahan. 173 



Ridges above Wray's Camp, in flower, in fruit on the 

 Padang.

A branching tree. Leaves coriaceous, ovate-acuminate, 

 base narrowed, above dark green poHshed (brown when dry), 

 beneath glaucous, sub-trinerved, the midrib and two ascending 

 spreading nerves being connate at the base for i inch from 

 the leaf-base, above is another pair, the reticulations very fine 

 and conspicuous, 4 inches long, 2 inches wide ; petiole | to f 

 inch long. Inflorescence ^ inch long, dense, sessile. Bracts 

 ovate-obtuse, minute, hairy. Capitula very small, 3 or 4 

 together, outer bracts 4, imbricate, orbicular, hairy on the 

 edges. Flowers 4, shortly pedicelled ; pedicels silky, hairy. 

 Perianth-lobes 4, oblong-ovate, hairy. Stamens 6; filament as 

 long as the anther; anther extrorse. Fruit ellipsoid, acumi- 

 nate, ^ inch long, ^ inch through ; pedicel ^ inch long, stout. 



In woods on a stream near the base of Gunong Tahan 

 and Gunong Ulu Riang (No. 16,124). 



*i63. LiNDERA sp. A shrub, quite glabrous except the 

 flowers, with coriaceous leaves, white beneath, three-nerved. 

 This was referred by me to L. ccBsia, Nees, but is certainly not 

 that species as named by Gamble. It resembles L. rufa, 

 Gamble, but is glabrous and has not acuminate leaves. 

 Common on the Padang. 



164. LiTSEA sp. A big tree with ovate leaves, glaucous 

 beneath, and large globose bright red fruits like cherries. 



Dense woods on the Teku at 4,600 feet. 



The part of the flora dealing with the Laurineae has 

 recently been published, and many of the previous species also 

 described by Mr. Gamble in the ' Kevv Bulletin.' None of 

 the above described species appear to be therein described, 

 nor can I elsewhere find any description to suit them. 



EUPHORBIACE.E. 



*i65. Choriophyllum montanum, Ridl. op. cit. p. 322. 

 A shrub with dull red capsules. Common on the Padang. 

 I could find no flowers. Endemic. 



MYRICACE^. 



*i66. Myrica Farquhariana, Wall. ; Ridl. op. cit. p. 322. 

 I only saw seedling plants of this in the Teku and other woods 

 on the Padang. Mr. Robinson got complete specimens on the 

 previous expedition. 



Distribution. I ndo- Malaya. 



CUPULIFERi5i. 



*i67. QuERCUS Rassa, Mi^-. ; Ridl. op. cit. p. 322. Col- 

 lected by Mr. Robinson at 6,000 feet. I did not see any plants 

 of it, but saw fallen fruits in the Teku woods. 



Distribution. Malay Peninsula and islands.
