Rhododendron longiflorum, Lindl. (Ericaceae). 



A beautiful bush Rhododendron with bright red 

 flowers. On the rocks on both ends of the ridge. It 

 occurs also in Perak and formerly in Singapore as an 

 epiphyte on high trees, and in Borneo and Sumatra. 



Fagraea auriculata, Jack. (Loganiaceae) . 



A single plant on rocks behind the bungalow. Not 

 in flower, I saw it there on my first visit. This plant 

 usually starts life as an epiphyte and eventually by 

 killing its host becomes a tree. It also grows on rocks. 

 Scattered over much of the Peninsula and the Malay Isles. 



Didymocarpus primulinus, Ridl. sp. nov. (Cyrtand- 

 raceae). 



A herb with a short, closely hairy stem about 1 to 

 4 inches long. Leaves about 6, elliptic, round at tip, base 

 round or shortly narrowed, above glabrous, beneath softly 

 densely hairy, edge thickly hairy; nerves 8 pairs, distinct, 

 1.5 in. long, 2.75 in. wide; petiole 1 to 2 in. long, thick, 

 densely hairy. Scai)es very numerous, erect, slender 

 from upper axils one-flowered, 2 in. long, hairy. Calyx- 

 lobes linear acuminate, .2 in. long. Corolla-tube .5 in. 

 long, limb .4 in. long, unequally bilobed, upper lobes 

 oblong, blunt, .2 in. long, lower lip nmcli longer .4 in. 

 long with 3 broad rounded oblong lobes .25 in. wide. All 

 primrose yellow with an orange patch in the mouth. 

 Stamens 2, filaments slender, curved as long as the tube,- 

 anthers elliptic connivent. Capsule slender, 1.5 in. long, 

 acuminate, glabrous when ripe. 



In woods on the slope leading to Bukit Lompat 

 Bayan. This pretty plant seems to me to be most nearly 

 allied to D. longipes Hook, of Mt. Ophir. 



Trema angustifolium, Bl. {Urticaceae). 



Shrub about 4 feet tall. A clump of this on the bare 

 rock on Bukit Lompat Bayan. Distrih. Malacca, Penangj 

 Sumatra. 



Ficus nidica, L. 



Tree on the high ridge above the bungalow collected 

 by Mr, Kloss on his second visit. Common in the 

 Peninsula. 



Ficus diversifolia, Bl. var. Kunstleri. 



On the ridge behind the bungalow (C. B. Kloss) 

 usually an epiphyte and as such on lofty trees common 

 in the Peninsula.
