A SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO TEMENGOH. 65 
lanceolate points ending in subulate cusps, 4+ inch long. 
Panicles dense an inch long, few branched on slender 
scurfy peduncles half an inch long. Bracts oblong 
obtuse glabrous longer than the flowers. Pedicels longer 
than the flower pubescent, Calyx urn-shaped -pubes- 
cent, with 5 short ovate lobes much shorter than the 
~ tube. Corolla and stamens not seen. Fruit 75 inch 
long elliptic narrowed to the tip glabrous, with 8 ribs 
longer than broad.

This is a very distinct plant in its almost entirely 
slabrousness, and its large oblong bracts. It appears 
to be most closely allied to Korthals’ S. wndulata des- 
cribed in the above quoted paper. I have seen no 
specimen of his, nor the original paper in which it was 
described but the description is given in Miquel’s Flor. 
Ind. Bat. Vol. II p. 294 under Psychotria as follows. 
S. undulata, Korth. “ Folia elliptica undulata subtus in nervis 
hirsuta, stipulae ovatae acuminatae ciliatae, flores in 
axillis densi conferti, bracteis oblongis sustenti.”’ 
Borneo ad Sakoembang. 
Now this though resembling S. bracteata in its 
peculiar bracts, differs in the nerves beneath not being 
hairy, and the form of the stipules so I conclude 
Korthals did not intend 8S. bracteata by his descrip- 
tion of S. undulata. 
The description of his S. polyantha in‘ the same 
publication is as follows. “ Caulis nodosus hirsutus, 
folia ovata utrinque acuta, supra sparse subtus in 
nervis dense hirsuta, stipulae rotundatae undulatae, 
flori in racemis abbreviatis conferti.’”’ Sumatra’ad Singa- 
lang. This most resembles S. pubescens but that has 
glabrous upper sides to the leaves and lanceolate acumi- 
nate stipules.
