104 THE ЅСІТАМІМЕ ЖЕ OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. 
Stamen projecting beyond the tube. Anther long slender curved 
dorsifixed versatile, the base prolonged into two parallel process- 
es, the upper part only polliniferous. Style slender, stigma 
te. Capsule oblong, seeds numerous Sall curved fusiform 
arillaciniate. Two species occurring only on hills in the Peninsula 
and in Borneo. These plants have been referred to the genus 
Kempferia, = though allied they are very distinct in the peculiar 
arrangemen the anther quite unique in the under: As in 
du goes broad and petal like. On the lip at the ie are 
two keels with a groove between leading to the tube which con- 
tains the honey. Тһе anther is curved and narrow and fixed by 
the back on the filament so that it swings readily, and the 
upon its back. Of course on visiting another flower the same 
thing occurs, and the pollen of the first flower is brushed off 
the flower is open only for а few hours in the mornin T 
is doubtless due-to the more certain working of this neat fhourb 
simple mechanism.
