; A SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO TEMENGOH. 79 
Hemigraphis Ridleyz, Clarke. 
Flowers pale blue. At Ulu Temengoh, and at Kuala 
Temengoh on the river banks. Hitherto only known 
from Pahang. 
H. confinis var minor. 
Grassy spots in the Temengoh village in shade. I 
could find very little of this plant, which perhaps had 
mostly perished from the dry season. It is a dwarf 
plant about 6 inches tall and is the plant mentioned by 
me as H. confinis, Anders. in the account of the East 
Coast Flora. It may be specifically distinct, as it 
seems always to be dwarf, with rather narrower leaves, 
and I have never seen the true confinis a much taller 
plant growing with it. It always occurs in short grass 
under bushes in old orchards. 
Eranthemum porphyranthos, C. B. C. Common in shady open 
spots at Temengohand Lenggong. This is very widely 
spread over the Peninsula. The color of the flower 
somewhat variously described in the Materials is 
always a pinkish violet. Clarke’s var evolutior is hardly 
worth keeping up. It is simply a stout state of which 
usually the top has been bitten off by some animal and 
the plant then branches. It occurs wherever there is 
any quantity of the ordinary form.

This pure white flowered plant is easily recognized by 
its climbing habit, scrambling to some height up bushes 
and often forming a bulky mass. 
(H. acuminatissimum, Mig. The origin of this plant seems 
quite obscure. It has never been found wild or as an 
escape in the Peninsula. It was formerly much culti- 
vated here but seems to have disappeared altogether 
from cultivation, and may very well be omitted from 
our flora).
