an inch long, + inch through, whitish grey, the back 
smooth flat, the inner ae Ousatucly angled, the aril 
small bilobed. 
Woods at Temengoh and Lenggong. 
A striking plant from its finely coloured leaves, dark 
green undulate above and deep red purple beneath. It 
is the only species I have yet seen in the peninsula in 
which the inflorescence is not subtended by a leaf. I 
sought in vain for flowers,.all the plants were in fruit. 
LOWIACEAE. 
‘Lowia longiflora; Seort. Extremely abundant all over the 
woods, no flowers seen. The plant seems in a wild 
state to flower very rarely. The only time I have seen 
it flowering well, was on one occasion where I found a 
number of plants had been chopped over in clearing the 
forest in Selangor. 
MUSACEAE. 
Musa violascens, Ridl. Scattered about in the forests at Ulu 
Temengoh, I only saw the remains of flowers once, and 
it was clearly this species. It was scanty and the 
_ plants were poor. Possibly the elephants had devoured 
'-most of the big plants.
