Premna. 123 



G.: „lower lip entire, upper one 2-lobed" is perhaps a 

 mistake?); coro//a-tube 0.3 cM., subequally 4-lobed, lobes 

 ciliate; throat densely white villous; stamens long exsert, 

 inserted in the throat : filaments somewhat flattened, anther- 

 cells nearly globose, opening by circular pores; connectives 

 glandular; style long exsert, stigma bifid; ovary glabrous; 

 drupe pyriform, with only 1 fertile seed. 



Distribution: Perak (Malay Peninsula). 

 The species has an affinity with P. thrichostoma Miq., but 

 differs from it in several important points, such as the narrower, 

 thicker leaves with glabrous nerves, the markedly nervose 

 fruiting calyx, the large bracts eind the circular openings of the 

 anther-cells.
