A SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO TEMENGOH. 81 
base. Corolla 1 inch long violet, tube at base narrow 
cylindric ¢ inch, then widely campanulate ? inch long 
curved, lobes short rounded, 4 inch across the limb, 
glabrous. Stamens in 2 pairs, the longer pair twice as 
long as the shorter. Anthers linear oblong. 
Wood along the banks of the Temengoh river near 
Ulu Temengoh (14524), a pretty plant allied to S. 
collunus Nees. Some of the leaves are much more dis- 
tinctly serrated than others. 
Gymnostachyum decurrens, Stapf. Temengoh woodsfrom Kuala 
Temengoh to Ulu Temengoh. 
The type of this species was obtained in the Tahan 
woods in Pahang and has never been met with since. 
Plants brought by me from Pahang have established 
themselves freely in the Botanic Gardens in shady 
places. The typical form was found on this occasion 
in the woods between Kuala Temengoh and Ulu 
Temengoh, and at the latter place a form or variety 
was met with which differs in some respects markedly 
from the typical form and I propose to eall it var 
pubescens. Stems long and creeping upwards of a foot 
long, with erect branches 6 inches or more tall covered 
with multicellular hairs, leaves ovate 3 inches long 
apex obtuse base decurrent, above sprinkled with short 
hairs, beneath covered with similar hairs, midrib and 
petiole densely covered with multicellular hairs like the 
stem. Rachis and calyx densely hairy, sepals rather, 
shorter. Corolla and stamens similar to type. The 
coloring of the flower was the same as the type flower 
viz: tube of corolla white, limb tinted and minutely 
dotted with violet, the lower lip with deep violet 
lobes, palate white. Stamens black violet with white 
pollen. I have not seen anywhere else the long creep- 
ing rhizome of this variety. The original form from 
Pahang which is much more compact and hairy keeps 
true wherever it grows in the gardens.
