20 THE FLORA OF MOUNT OPHIR. 



D. cordatus var. ophirensis. Flowers white ; rocks just below 

 Packing Batu. 



D. longipes Clarke. A very distinct plant with a rosette of dark 

 green leaves purple on the back and bright yellow tubu- 

 lar flowers. All over the hills, peculiar to Mt. Ophir. 



Nepenthes Rafflesiana Jack. (Nepenthacece). Very fine and large. 

 Abundant to the top with the following. 



N. phyllamphora Willd. 



N. sanguinea Lindl. The red pitcher plant, for which Mt. Ophir 

 has long been famed. 



X. albomarginata Lobb. Also occurs in Peiu.ng. 



Balanophora multibrachiata. Fawc. (Bulanophorece). This is 

 apparently parasitic upon Dacrydium here. It appears to 

 have been overlooked by all the Ophir collectors, probably 

 from the fact that the tuberous rhizome is most entirely 

 subterranean and the flower spikes only appear at certain 

 times. The large warty rhizome is yellowish brown, the 

 scale leaves and flower-spikes reel. It is not rare on 

 Gunong Ledang, and occurs also in Java. 



Litsea zeylanica. Xees. (Laun'nece). Mt. Ophir (Griffith) I have 

 not met with this. It is a common plant in the low country 

 country, near the sea. 



L. sp. with rather large leaves glaucous and pubescent be- 

 neath. Specimens too incomplete. 



Loranthus retusus Jack. (Loranthaceae). Parasitic on Dacry- 

 dium. Gunong Mering and Ledang. 



L. Lobbii. Hook. fil. Flowers yellow. Gunong Ledang. 



Viscum japonicum Thunb. A very odd little mistletae parasitic 

 on Rhododendron here. I found it parasitic on Aly.xia in 

 Kedah Peak. On the top of Gunong Tundok. 



Henslowia Lobbiana A. Dec. (Santalacece) The Mt. Ophir form of 

 this climber seems to me the same as that of the sea coasts,
