IS THE FLORA OF MOUNT OPHI1L 



A crenatu Roxb. var. angusta. A slender branched plant with 

 lanceolate leaves narrowed at both ends, crenate. Fruit 

 on long 1 slender pedicels as big as a pea. Above Padang 

 Batu. I have also met with this on the Pahang track in 

 Selangor. 



A. sp. With lanceolate leaves narrowed at both ends, coria- 

 ceous nerves invisible above, panicle terminal rusty-scaly 

 with rather large numerous flowers. Calyx lobes large 

 rounded. Gunong Tunduk. 



Diospyros lacida Wall. (Ebenacece). On Gunong Ledang. Com- 

 mon in the low country. 



Symplocos Ophireiisis Clarke. (Styracece). Shrub flowers white, 

 not rare on Gunong Ledang. Only known locality. 



8. crassipes Clarke. Only known locality, and collected by 

 Maingay. 



S. Henscheli Benth. Shrub with blue fruit, and var. hirtistylis 

 Clarke. Only known locality. 



Jasminum laurifolium Poxb. (Oleacerp). Climber flowers white. 

 Gunong Ledang to the top. Also occurs in India, Bur- 

 ma h and Perak.

 Ledang. Also Selangor on Bukit Kutu, Sumatra and 

 Borneo. 



A. piimila Hook. fil. Climber. Common on the slopes above 

 Padang Batu also occurs on Kedak Peak. Both of these 

 have very sweet scented bark used by Malays in medicine 

 under the name of Pulasari, Ampelas Wangi, etc. 



Kopsia pauciflora Hook. fil. Mt, Ophir (Maingay). What I 

 take to be this is a big tree, with white flowers with a 

 pink eye. It grows below Pahang Batu in the forest.
