84 NOTES ON THE FLORA OF SINGAPORE. 



Supplementary Notes on the Flora of 

 Singapore. 



By H. N. Ridley. 



The following: notes, additions and corrections of the pre- 

 vious list, are based on identifications sent from Kew, and from 

 the later numbers of King's Materials for the flora of the 

 Malay Peninsula, together with notes on some plants collected 

 in Singapore since writing the list. 



Magnolia Maingayi King, (Magnoliacece). This charming and 

 deliciously scented magnolia was unexpectedly discovered 

 in the Garden jungle. Hitherto it has only been known 

 as a hill plant in Perak and Penang, but as it has never 

 been in cultivation in the Gardens I conclude that it can- 

 not here be a garden escape. The flowers are creamy 

 white, and open in the afternoon. 



Xylopia dicarpa (Anonacece). Hook, fil, a tall tree, Bukit Timah. 



Limacia triandra Miers. (Menispermacece). This is I find the 

 plant mentioned under the name of Hypserpa triflora 

 Miers. 



Brownlowia lepidota {Tiliacece). In mangroves. Kranji. 



Br. Riedelii Hemsl. {Tiliacece). Tree. Bukit Timah. 



Br. lanceolata Benth. {Tiliace.je). Flowers deep rose colour, a 



shrub in tidal mud. Gelang. 

 Sloanea javanica Miq. {Tiliacece). A tall tree with white flowers, 



Kranji {EcJpinocarpus). 



GonrpJtia Hobkerii var. cort/rnbosa {Ochnacece). This name has been 

 given for a medium sized tree with crowded white flowers, 

 growing on the top of the hill at Bukit Timah. It is 

 quite a different looking plant from the typical G. Hookerii
