A SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO TEMENGOH. 
late with 5 short acute lobes tu‘ted with hair. Corolla 
very short tube cylindric, lobes 5 oblong rounded at 
the tip pubescent outside white. Stamens shorter than 
the corolla, filaments slender rising from near the base 
of the tube. Anthers as long as the filaments. Style 
shorter stout thick with 2 oblong rounded flat white 
stigmatic arms. A disc of 5 pinkish reniform glandular 
bodies surrounding the style base, becoming a circle in 
the fruit. Fruit hairy, ovoid. Seeds 2 elliptic ovoid 
dark brown minutely punctate. 
Streblosa. 
Johor, Gunong Panti; Perak, _‘Temengoh Woods; 
Penang, Balik Pulau (Ridley 9425) ; Dindings at Telok 
Serah. 
Very distinct from S. tortzlis, Korth. in its being 
woody, and the Dindings form has narrower more 
lanceolate leaves, long acuminate at the base. 
S. urticina, Stapf. This is given in the original description 
as herbaceous and scandent. The specimen from Ki- 
nabalu of Haviland’s collection in the Herbarium of the 
Botanic Gardens, Singapore, is decidedly woody. I ob- 
tained plants at Puak in Borneo (12430 of my collec- 
tion) and at Lundu (12432) which I am unable to 
separate from S. urticona. They are more robust with 
larger leaves, the stem quite woody and erect. 
I have another species from Sarawak which I will 
describe here. 
S. bracteata n. sp. 
Stem tall over 18 inches long woody glabrous, nearly 
4 inch through. Leaves ovate lanceolate, subacute 
narrowed to the base, 6-7 inches long 4 inches wide 
glabrous except for a little scurfy pubescence on the 
midrib, nerves slender 20 pairs, petiole 1-14 inch long. 
Stipules broad glabrous, oblong deeply bifid with the
