1S87.] G. King — On the Species of Lorantlins indifjenous to Ferak. 93 



Xorthal's name, as being the older, must supplant Roxburgh's. Den^ 

 droplitlioe ignea, Scheff. from Banka, according to the specimen in 

 the Calcutta collection, is also the same as this. L. Schultesii, Bl., (Fl. 

 Jav. Loranth, t. 2) appears to me referable to L. scurrula, Linn, rather 

 than to this. 



10. L. Malacceusls, Hook. fil. Fl. Brit. India, V, 210. 



On high trees, at elevations of from 3000 to 4000 feet. King's 

 Collector (Kunstler) No. 6286: found also at Malacca by Griffith. 



Section V. Dendrophthoe. 



11. L. grandifrons, nov. spec. Young branches rather thin, terete, 

 little swollen at the nodes, the bark dark-coloured, lenticillate : leaves 

 sub-opposite or alternate, rarely exactly opposite, coriaceous, petiolate, 

 broadly ovate or ovate-oblong, the apex sub-acute, the base rounded or 

 emarginate ; main nerves 4 to 6 pairs, ascending, prominent (as is the 

 midrib) especially on the lower surface ; both sarfaces dull, sparsely 

 pulverulent ; length of blade 5 to 8 inches, breadth 3 in. to 4*5 in. ; 

 petiole '6 in. to 1 inch : the w^hole inflorescence covered with minute 

 pulverulent, sub-deciduous, tomentum ; racemes solitary, axillary, or from 

 the older leafless branches, woody, erect, or slightly curved, 2*5 in. 

 long, about 30-flowered, pedicels short ; bract* small, thick, clawed ; 

 calyx-tube cylindric, inflated at the base, the limb much longer than the 

 short, sub-globose, ovary, 5 or 6 toothed ; corolla-tube 3 inches long, 

 cylindrical, 5 or 6-striate, slightly inflated towards the limb ; lobes of 

 limb '5 in. long, reflexed, linear ; anthers basifixed, linear, about half 

 as long as the lobes ; style filiform, a little longer than the stamens ; 

 stigma small, sub-globose. 



In the low country, not very common. ScortecJiini, No. 926 ; 

 Kunstler, Nos. 786 and 2067. Found also in the Lampongs, in Sumatra, 

 on trees by the edge of heavy forest. H. O. Forbes, No, 1665. 



When young the whole exterior of the corolla is tomentose like the 

 calyx, but when fully expanded it occasionally becomes sub-glabrous. 

 The base of the corolla is whitish ; the upper part pink. In advanced 

 bud some of the corollas are constricted at the apex and inflated towards 

 the middle ; but when fully expanded the corolla is tubular, gradually 

 widening towards the mouth. This fine species comes near pentandrits 

 as to technical characters : but in general appearance it somewhat 

 resembles L. longiflorus, Desr. It is, however, well distinct from the 

 latter by its differently shaped, more distinctly nerved leaves ; and 

 by its more erect, rigid, and scurfy inflorescence.
