Tringanu: Bundi (Rostado). 



This fine plant is allied to F. carnosa, Jack, differing 

 in the quite round leaves, and the very much larger 

 corolla limb. 



F. racemosa, var. pauciflora, King and Gamble. 



I should certainly be inclined to consider this plant 

 specifically distinct from typical F. racemosa. The typ- 

 ical plant is a large stout shrub or small tree common in 

 the open country with flesh colored flowers in dense 

 racemes. The variety pauciflora is a tall slender little- 

 branched shrub, with a slender broken up raceme of 

 white or creamy white sweet-scented flowers. It only 

 occurs in dense wet forest and is not found with the com- 

 mon species. Thus the variety occurs in Bukit Tiinah 

 forest, while F. racemosa does not occur at all in Sing- 

 apore. 



F. Bidhyi, King and Gamble. 



This is not completely described as the authors had not 

 seen flowers of it. It appears only to have been collected 

 by myself once on the lower slopes of Mount Ophir and 

 also on Bukit Timah in Singapore. The only plant 

 I found in Singapore was growing as an epiphyte on a 

 dead tree at the top of the hill. The tree later fell down 

 and I believe the plant quite perished. Before it did so 

 however, I managed to obtain a cutting and planted it 

 in the Botanic Gardens where it has now developed into 



Jour. Straits Branch.
