Flo)'(i of the Malayan Peninsula. HO? 



1028, 1030, 1031; Derra 1012. Jojiorb: Ridley 6312— Distrih. Malay 

 Ai'chipelago, British India. 



Following Mr. Clarke in Hooker's 'Flora of British India,' we have reduced to 

 F. obovata, Wall., not only the forms which have received specific names as above 

 quoted, but also those found in British India, there being no constant characters that 

 we can discover to separate them. Some of the specimens from India have, however, 

 longer flowers, and the main nerves of their leaves are more distinct than in the majority 

 of Malayan specimens. 



6. Fagr^a lanceolata, Blume Bijdr. 1021 (1826). Scandent, 30 to 

 40 ft. long, glabrous ; young branches about as thick as a goosequill, the 

 nodes close together, cinereous when dry. Leaves coriaceous; oblong- 

 oblanceolate, subacute, the base much narrowed ; both surfaces very

 lower surface, faint on the upper ; length 2-5 to 4-5 in., breadth 1 to 

 1-75 in. ; petiole '35 to "5 in. long. Floiuers terminal, pedunculate, solitary 

 or in pairs or in threes ; their peduncles subclavate, about 3 in. long, 

 bibracteolate at the apex, and sometimes with larger bracts at the base. 

 Calyx 5 in. long, obconic, 5-lobed ; the lobes coriaceous, fleshy below, 

 rounded, with membranous margins. Corolla 3 in. long, funnel-shaped,

7. Fagr^a Wallichiana, Benth. in Journ. Linn. Soc. I. 98 (1857). A 

 tree ? ; young branches half as thick as a goosequill, pale brown when dry, 

 glabrous ; the leaf-scars close together and prominent. Leaves coria- 

 ceous ; narrowly elliptic or oblanceolate, apex acute or shortly acumi- 

 nate, the base much narrowed and forming narrow wings to the petiole ; 

 both surfaces glabrous, the upper greenish when dry, the lower brown ; 

 main nerves 4 or 5 pairs, curving upwards and forming wide arches 

 •1 to "15 in. from the edge, rather distinct on the lower surface when dry, 

 invisible on the upper ; midrib conspicuoiis on the lower surface ; length 

 2-25 to 3 in., breadth -6 to 1-1 in. ; petiole '3 to -5 in. long, winged in its 

 upper part. Flowers (excluding the stamens) 1 to 1-25 in. long, pedicel-
