Griffiths account of this curious plant is very accurate. 
The leaves are waved, and dark polished green. The flower 
spike imbedded in the ground silky pubercence on the bracts pro- 
tecting the budsfrom injury by wet. The flowers are very 
inconspicuous in the dark damp jungle, but the pale colored 
tips of the corolla lobes is conspicuous enough to attract atten- 
tion to them. The pollen when shed is protected by the pubes- 
cence on the anther from the effects of the surrounding wet 
in a very curious manner. The plant is known as Pua Hitam by 
the Malays.

Borneo, Sarawak, Kuching. (Haviland 1764). 
Near /7. Leonurus but differing in the pubescence. The 
leaves in the specimen are only the terminal ones, the lower 
ones are probably much larger. <A closely allied plant, if not 
absolutely identical, was obtained by Mr. Fox on the Rumpin 
river in Pahang. It hasa stout woody rhizome with several 
spikes, which however are too young to show the flowers. 
A. pusilla n. sp. 
Rhizome slender woody sinuous. Stems 8 inches tall very 
slender. Leaves few 3 or 4 elliptic lanceolate with a lone point
