878 Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 



Stamens 4, exserted, didynamous, the upper pair shorter ; anthers 

 1-celled. Disk small, equal, entire. Style-arms unequal, the upper 

 very short. Nutlets obovoid, rugosely pitted; hilum very large, 

 lateral. — Disteib. Species 1, endemic. 



The genus Aceymia is closely allied to Cymaria, with which it agrees as regards 

 inflorescence and fruit, but from which it differs in having a 2-lobed upper lip that 

 does not conceal the 1-celled anthers. Though much smaller, the corolla of Acryviia 

 resembles rather closely the corolla of Ajtiga, a genus in which the anther-cells, 

 though usually discrete, are sometimes at length confluent. In habit, however, 

 Acrymia is unlike either of the genera to which it is so closely allied, and recalls that 

 met with in an Indian group of species belonging to the genus Gomphostemma, which 

 includes G. ovatum, Wall., and G. Mastersii, Benth. 



Acrymia ajugifloea, Prain in Kew Bull. 115 (1908). A dwarf 

 undershrub. Stems woody, prostrate and rooting below, 2-3 in. long, 

 densely leafy above. Leaves opposite, petioled, elliptic, obtuse, crenate 

 except the sometimes unequally cuneate, or occasionally subtruncate 

 base ; dark green above, paler beneath, fulvous-strigose on both sides, 

 especially along the 5-7 pairs of main nerves and the secondary reticu- 

 late veins ; 4-5-8 in. long, 2-3-5 in. wide; petiole -75-2 in. long, fulvous- 

 strigose. Cymes dichotomously branching, with terminal flowers ; 

 flowers on the branches secundly arranged ; main-peduncles strigose, 

 slender, -75-1-25 in. long ; bracteoles subulate, shorter than pedicels. 

 Calyx in flower campanulate, -08 in. long, in fruit urceolate, -15 in. 

 long, strigose on the nerves externally ; teeth 5, equal triangular as 

 long as the portion of tube above the constriction ; pedicels slender, 

 strigose, •07--1 in. long. Corolla white, -25 in. long, glabrous ; tube 

 shortly exserted ; lower lip spreading, 3-lobed, mid-lobe obovate ; upper 

 lip suberect, 2-lobed, lobes oblong, hardly exceeding lateral lobes of 

 lower lip. Filaments exserted, hirsute at base, glabrous elsewhere ; 

 anthers 1-celled. Nutlets obovoid, -02 in. long, wide-reticulate ; at first 

 sparsely pubescent, at length glabrescent.

Note. — Since the completion of the Families of theGamopetala?, a paper has been 

 read before the Linnean Society by Mr. H. N. Eidley, F.E.S., on a "Collection of 

 Plants made by Messrs. H. C. Robinson and L. Wray on Gunong Tahan, Pahang." 

 It describes a number of new species, and should be consulted by all workers who may 

 make use of the ' Materials for the Flora of the Malay Peninsula.' It was published 

 in Linn. Soc. Journ. Bot. XXXVIII. 301 et seq. (1908).
