Perak. Thaiping Hills (Curtis, 2082) (King’s collector, 1967). 
Dr. Prain, in a note on the specimen collected by Dr. King’s 
collector, calls it S. Rhynchopyle, and says it is extremely near 
Rhynchopyle Grabowskii Engler, if not exactly that. A specimen of 
the latter species is in the British Museum Herbarium, and appears 
very different. It has the thick short spathe of S. Rhynchopyle, and 
leaves of the same texture as that of the common Rhynchopyle 
elongata Engler, whereas the Perak plant has the long narrow 
spathe of the typical Schismatoglottis. Engler himself, followed by 
Sir Joseph Hooker in the Flora of British India, makes Rhyncho- 
pyle a section only of Schismatoglottis; but I think that, though 
S. longifolia has a short cup-shaped tube to the spathe in fruit, m 
all other respects it seems to be a true though peculiar Schismato- 
glottis. The long leaves, and tall slender peduncles produced i 
some numbers, make it a remarkable and conspicuous plant.
