iOS A SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO TEMENGOH. 
‘Anthers dorsifixed extrorse elliptic broad 2 celled with a 
ridge between the cells, orange. Ovary superior sub- 
globose ovoid, green, style none, stigma minute conic 
subcapitate. 
Banks of the track, Ulu Temengoh. 
The genus Stichoneuron has hitherto been represent- 
ed by a single species from North India. The addition 
of another species from the Malay Peninsula is of con- 
siderable interest. 
This new species differs from S. membranacewm in its 
smaller size, the curious tailed petals, and the solitary 
stigma. . 
The position of the genus has always been puzzling, 
and all the more so as the fruit of the type species has 
never been found, though it appears to be by no means 
rare in the Himalayas. I sought in vain for the fruit of 
the new species, and though the plant was abundant 
in the Ulu Temengoh not even a young fruit was to be 
found. The nervation and the inflorescence are cer- 
tainly like those of Roxburghia, but there the resem- 
blance ceases, and the plant-otherwise does not resem- 
ble a monocotyledon at all. Its relationship is certain- 
ly very puzzling.
