2 b. GoMPilOSTEMMA CuRTisif Pram; stems scabrid, leaves long- 

 petioled ovate, or elliptic-ovate, denticulate, pubescent above tomentose 

 beneath, wboils in large thyrsoid, cymes along the old wood below the 

 leaves, bracts equalling the calyx, entire lanceolate with filiform points, 

 calyx lobes narrowly lanceolate, with filiform points, longer than the 

 tube. — G. Curtisii Prain in Ann. Boy. Bot. Gard., Calcutta, iii, ined. 



Malay Peninsula; Perak, Wray n. 1233; ScoitecMni n. 924. 

 Penang, Curtis n. 1310. 



Stems flexuose 90 — 120 cm. long not rooting below, leaves distant, 

 petioles 3 — 12 cm., laminae 8 — 12 cm. long, 5 — 7 cm. wide, cymes 5 — 6 

 cm. long, bracts 10 — 1 5 mm. long, calyx 14 mm. long, corolla 28 mm. 

 long, nutlets usually all matured, oblong, rounded above triquetrous 

 below, glabrous, punctulate. 



Nearest to G. pedimculntum from which it is distinguished by its 

 narrower entire bracts and longer narrower calyx teeth as well as by its 

 smaller leaves with longer petioles. As in G. pedunculatum the bracts 

 and calyces are red-brown ; the corolla, however, is in this species white. 

 6 b. GoMPHOSTEMMA ScORTECHiNii Prain; stems, leaves beneath 

 and whorls sparsely brown-tomentose, leaves short-petioled elliptic acute 

 or oblanceolate acuminate entire or subserrate, or leaves glabrous 

 beneath tomentose above, whorls many-flowered pedunculate, flowers 

 pedicelled bracts small subulate, calyx ribbed teeth long triangular, 

 corolla pubescent large. — G. Scortechinii Prain in Ann. Boy. Bot. Gard.y

Malay Peninsula; Perak, Gunong Ijok, ScortecJiini u. 1225. 

 Stems 60 — 100 cm., petioles 0'5 — 1 cm. long, laminse 20 — 30 cm. 

 long, 12 — 16 cm. wide, narrowed or not towards the base, bracts 8 mm, 

 long, peduncles very short, pedicels 8 — 10 mm., calyx 22 mm. (teeth 

 12 mm.), corolla 60 mm., upper lip emarginate, style bearded near top, 

 nutlets 8 mm., ovate oblong, sparsely hairy at top. 



Near G. ohlongum and G. lucidum ; differs from both in having 

 peduncled whorls and pedicelled flowers, and is larger than either in all 

 its parts.

 neath hoary-tomentose, leaves petioled rugose elliptic-ovate acute narrow- 

 ed to the base, serrate, hirsute above, whorls sessile many-flowered, bracts 

 lanceolate or linear shorter than the calyx, calyx teeth longer than tube, 

 corolla not exceeding calyx, tube hirsute within. — G. Hemsleyanum
