narrowed and stipitate at the base, prolonged above into a long 

 beak, triquetrous, ribbed, and densely hairy with appressed 

 hairs; mouth bifid. Style long, projecting far beyond the 

 beak, hairy. Stigmas 3, long. Nut shorter, fusiform, triquet- 

 rous, narrowed at both ends, base of style not thickened, dark 

 brown. 



Mossy wooded stream-banks on the Padang. Nearly out 

 of flower. Altitude 5,600 feet. 



Allied to C. fnsiformis, Nees, but with hairy utricles; 

 possibly only a variety of that species. 



279. Carex ligata, Booth. In damp woods along the 

 stream from Gunong Riang and Gunong Tahan in shady 

 spots, local but abundant. 



Distribution. From Formosa to China. Not previously 

 recorded from the Malayan region. 



280. Carek Lindleyana, Nees, var. A tall sedge form- 

 ing large tufts by the banks of the same stream as the last, but 

 in more open spots, less hairy than the typical plant, which 

 occurs in Southern India and Ceylon. New to the Peninsula.

281. Isachne albens, Trin. In woods by a stream, 

 Gunong Tahan, local. Occurs in the Larut Hills, Gunong 

 Semangkok, and Telom, from 3,000 feet altitude upwards. 



Distribution. India, China, and Malay Islands, and in the 

 Malay Peninsula on the top of the Larut Hills. 



282. Isachne JAVANA, A^^^s; a7/^^fl, p. 61. Abundant in the 

 Padang, but scattered, also seen on a ridge near W^ray's Camp. 

 The leaves are very strict and erect, white beneath. Altitude 

 3,400 to 7,000 feet. 



Var. SAXicoLA. A densely tufted plant with numerous 

 short stems 3 inches high; leaves half an inch long and more 

 flaccid; panicles short and simple. Glumes I and II narrower 

 and acuter than in type, often purplish. 



This grows in the cracks of the stones in the streams, and, 

 though very different in appearance from the type-form, I find 

 connecting forms and conclude it is merely a forrri modified by 

 its habitat. 



Isachne javana occurs in Burmah, Java, and Borneo, and 

 in the Malay Peninsula on Mt. Ophir, Gunong Bubu, Gunong 

 Kerbau, 6,600 feet, Gunong Batu Puteh, and in Penang.

 as two feet through and a large coma of deep green leaves. 

 L,eaves elliptic, narrowed at the base, apex rounded, blunt, very
