nearly as large as those of Gunong Semangkok. The male 

 spikes were dried up and young ones just commencing growth.

287. PoDOCARPUS NERiiFOLius, Don (P. bracteatus, BL, 

 Ridl. op. cit. p. 333). A tree about 20 feet tall with few- 

 branches. The peculiarity of this form is that all over the 

 Padang, where it is cojnmon, the leaves, which are rather 

 longer and thicker than in most forms, are deflexed, so that at 

 first the tree appears to be dead. In the denser woods the 

 leaves were more normal. 



Distribution. Nepal, Malay Peninsula and islands to New 

 Guinea, China, and Yunnan. 



*288. PoDOCARPUS cuPKESsiNUS, Br.) Ridl. op. cit. p. 333. 

 I only found this in the thick woods by the Teku at about 

 4,600 feet elevation. Common on all our hills. 



Distribution. Malay Islands from Celebes west to North 

 Burmah, Hainan. 



GNETAClE^. 



289. Gnetum microcarpum, Bl., var. This occurs in 

 the woods by the Camp and on the Teku. It resembles the 

 var. sylvestris of the low country, but the leaves are rather 

 narrower and pointed. I have almost the same form from Mt. 

 Ophir and the top of Penang Hill, and it seems to be a 

 moimtain-form. The species is common over the whole 

 Peninsula.
