Tasan ; Greenish-yellow, red at base ; 6968. Allied to 

 M. longipes. King, of the Malay Peninsula but not glabrous,

 solitary, pedicel • 1 in. long. Sepals ovate broad, ribbed, • 25 

 in. long, red, hairy ; outer petals thick, coriaceous, ovate^ 

 lanceolate -75 to 1 in. long, red hairy ; inner petals half as 

 long, broad, triangular hairy. 



Tasan : Pale green ; 5 ft. ; 6836. Undoubtedly near 

 G. tamirensis, Pierre of Cochin-China, but much less hairy 

 all over and flowers much larger. . 



SCHIZANDRACEAE 



8. Kadsura Roxburghiana, Arn.

CAPPARIDACEAE. 



9. Capparis Klossii, sp. nov. 



Climber. Branches puberulous, armed with short, 

 recurved thorns in pairs. Leaves large, thin, coriaceous, 

 glabrous above ; midrib and nerves 7 pairs elevate beneath, 

 pubescent •, nerves inaiching within the margin, transverse, 

 nervules few, 9 ins. long, 5 in. wide ; petiole thick -5 in. 

 long with 2 thorns at base. Raceme terminal, 8 in. long. 

 Flowers numerous, pedicel 1 in. long or less. Bracts 

 lanceolate; spathulate, petioled -5 in. long, -08 in. wide, 

 petiole as long as blade between a pair of deflexed hooks. 

 Sepals rounded coriaceous, -4 in. long. Petals oblong, 

 ovate, clawed, '5 in. long, white. Stamens very numerous 

 1-25 in. long. Gynophore slender, 2 in. long, ovary ovoid 

 with a short stigmatic point, -1 in. long. Tasan : petals 

 white ; climber ; 6845. 



This striking Capparis has the largest leaves of any 

 I know from Asia. It is most closely allied to C. trinervia, 

 also from this region, but the flowers are not ferruginous 

 and the leaves larger and not clearly 3-nerved as in that 

 species. j
