70 4A SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO TEMENGOH. 
The other Malay peninsula species is-S. Maingayz ; 
Hook. fil, a plant which has only twice been met with, 
once by Maingay in Malacca but exactly where is not 
recorded and once at Changi in Singapore by Hullett. 
Noone else has apparently ever seen it. Many years ago 
I visited with Mr. Hullett the spot where he found the 
jungle trees draped with this beautiful species, but 
neither then nor later could we find any of it, and 
since then this spot has been destroyed for some minor 
cultivation. As the flowers are over two inches across 
and pale yellow, the plant would be conspicuous enough, 
and possibly it is a shy flowerer and might be overlook- 
ed out of flower. 
S. parviflora, I have twice met with at Tapah, it was growing 
abundantly over a tree by a stream on the roadside 
but in spite of all searching I could only find one flower 
and one bud. At Temengoh the plant collector got a 
single specimen with one flower. It is evidently a shy 
flowerer. In general appearance both in foliage and flow- 
er, it resembled a very small form of Hoya coronaria, but 
examination showed it was no Hoya but a true Stepha- 
notes very distinct from any other species, in thesmall size 
of its flowers, its short corolla tube, the long staminal 
corona, visible and almost projecting beyond the mouth 
of the tube. Thestaminal column is peculiar in having 
the processes terminating in rather a long oblong bifid 
limb, much overtopping the style apex. 
Hoya perakensis, n. sp. 
Stems slender creeping and rooting. Leaves ovate 
acute coriaceous glabrous base broad truncate rounded 
44 inch long 3 inches wide, nerves from the base 5, 
with few arched secondary nerves, drying brown with 
recurved edges, petiole thick ¢ inch long. Raceme thick 
92 inches long, of which the peduncle is ¢ inch, all 
glabrous, umbell 1 inch across many flowered, pedi- 
cels slender 4 inch across. Sepals ovate lanceolate
