1920] Ridley : New &Rare Malayan Plants. 149 



2 lipped, lower lip loiiger than recurved uppr r one, lobes 

 broad, round. Stamens 2 anthers ellipsoid, large. Style 

 longer than corolla. Ovary ovoid. Capsule 15 in. long, 

 acute, spirally twisted. 



Pahang : Gunong Senyum (Evans) . 



This soft, woolly plant has I think, the smallest flowers 

 of any in the Order. It is nearest perhaps to B. paruiflora^ 

 Ridl. 



63. Chirita parvula, sp. nov. 



Slender dwarf herb, 6 in. tall, sparsely hairy. Leaves 

 thin membranous, ovate, lanceolate entire, acute base 

 decurrent, shortly hairy all over, 3 in. long, 1*5 in. wide, 

 petiole 1 in. long. Flowers solitary or paired axillary, 

 pedicels hairy 1 in. long. Calyx '4 in. long, lobes narrow, 

 lanceolate acuminate, hairy. Corolla light -vdolet, tube 

 cylindric -5 in. long dilate above limb -4 in. wide unequally 

 bilobed. Capsule very narrow, cylindric acuminate 1-5 

 in. long. 



Pahang : Kota Tongkat, 10th mile Benta-Kuantan road 

 (Evans) . 



Closely allied to C. viola, Ridl., but differing in its 

 hairiness and the long-tubed corolla and the much longer 

 hairy calyx. 



SCROPHULARIACEAE. 



64. Torenia bimaculata, sp. nov. 



Branched herb 12 in. tall ; stems 4-angled, glabrous 

 except the hairy young parts. Leaves ovate, acute, base 

 decurrent on petiole often oblique seri'ate, nT-rves 6 pairs, 

 elevate and almost winged beneath, 1 in. long -5 in. wide ; 

 petiole -25 in. long. Flowers 1-5-in a terminal umbel with 

 narrow linear acuminate bracts • 25 in. long ; pedicels • 5 in. 

 long. Calyx ellipsoid decurrent on pedicel distinctly winged, 

 lobes acuminate subulate -5 in. long, -25 in. wide, hairy on 

 the edges at tip. Corolla-tube slender, as long as calyx ; 

 limb about -25 in. across, bilabiate pale blue with a dark 

 purple spot on each side of flower lip, mouth of tube yellow 

 inside. Calyx in fruit wider. 



Kelantan : Chaning on river banks, Feb. 1917. 



A very similar plant to this I found at Angkor Wat in 

 Cambodia, but the leaves in that are rounded at base and 

 the calyx more narrowly winged. I cannot match either 

 with any of Bonati's descriptions in Bull. Soc. France Iv. p. 

 512. T. bimaculata in colouring resembles the well-known 

 garden plant T. Foiirnieri of Siam but is much more 

 branched and the flowers are smaller. 



ACANTHACEAE. 



65. Leda rubrolutea, sp. nov. 



A creeping, ascending slender herb about 6 in. tall, 

 pubescent. Leaves few in distant equal pairs, elliptic
