NEW OR RARE MALAYAN PLANTS. 121 



F. oblonga, King and Gamble. 



This is incompletely described in the Materials for a 

 Flora of the Malay peninsula, for lack of complete speci- 

 mens. I would add the following notes to the descrip- 

 tion. It is an epiphyte with rather flaccid leaves for a 

 Fagraea. The flowers are borne in pairs on axillary 

 peduncles at the ends of the branches. The peduncles 

 are an inch long and rather stout, as are the pedicels 

 J inch long. The calyx lobes are ovate blunt J inch 

 long. Corolla white, with a straight tube 1 inch long, 

 the lobes | inch long J inch wide oblong obovate with 

 rounded tips. Stamens included, anthers oblong. Style 

 an inch long, with a peltate stigma. 



The plant occurs at the Tea Gardens and the Cottage 

 on the Thaiping Hills and I have also found it at the 

 Semangkok Pass in Selangor (Xo. 12069 of my collec- 

 tion) . 



F. fragrans, Eoxb. 



In the Materials for a Flora of the Malay Peninsula 

 the description and quoted collection numbers for this 

 plant include a tree very distinct in life but less easily 

 separated from herbarium specimens. This species is 

 I am pretty certain the plant intended by Blume in his 

 Fagraea speciosa (Eumphia II. p. 33, tab. 81). 



F. fragrans, Eoxb. F. pcregrina, Blume. Is a tree about 

 60 feet tall with a diameter of 1-2 feet. The bark is 

 rough and thick deeply irregularly grooved, and brown. 

 The leaves are elliptic acuminate narrowed at the base 

 dark green dull with perfectly straight edges, nerves 

 S pairs. The cymes are less lax than those of F. 

 speciosa. The calyx lobes are short and ovate. The 

 corolla tube J inch long, trumpet shaped, the lobes oblong 

 obtuse reflexed, as long as the tube. The stamens are 

 long protruded, the anthers ovate, horse-shoe shaped, the 

 loculi having a deep depression between them at the base.
