10 NEW AND RARE MALAYAN PLANTS. 



face, glaucous beneath and glabrous, nerves hardly visible 1 to 

 1.5 in. long, .4 in. wide; petiole .2 in. long. Stipules filiform. 

 Peduncle 1.5 to 2 in. long. Flower patent 1 in. across, rose 

 pink. Sepals .2 in. long, ovate caudate, glabrous, spurred one 

 ovate lanceolate, fiat, spur long and slender, 1.5 in. long. Cap- 

 sule ovoid dilate in middle .5 in. long. Seed obovoid, com- 

 pressed hairy .1 in. long. 



Perak. Temengoh on a sand bank in the river (Ridley 

 14591). I could find but a single plant anywhere. 



Allied to T. Griffithii, Hook. fil. but a more branched 

 stouter plant, with broader leaves, hairy above with the nerves 

 almost invisible, in whorls of 5, the lower ones in pairs. The 

 spur is also much longer and more slender. 



Impatiens exilipes, Hook. fil. ms. 



A branched glabrous herb about 2 feet tall. Leaves op- 

 posite or in whorls of 3, broadly lanceolate acuminate, nar- 

 rowed to the base, serrate spinulose, quite glabrous, beneath 

 glaucous, nerves 6 pairs conspicuous, 3 to 4.5 in. long. .7 to 1 

 in. wide ; petiole .5 in. long. Pedicels 2 to 3 in. long. Flowers 

 rose pink, centre darker. Sepals ovate oblong, cuspidate, 

 spurred one boat-shaped, mucronate, .4 in. long, spur slender 

 1.3 in. long. Standard obovate, cuneate, truncate with a short 

 point and a short rounded keel, wings broad bifid, basal lobe 

 oblong retuse, upper one obovate refuse. Capsule short .6 in. 

 long, broadly fusiform, beaked. Seed obovoid, flattened, gla- 

 brous. 



Perak. On the road between Tapah and Jor, abundant 

 at one spot (Ridley). 



I got this pretty balsam in the return from the expedition 

 to Telom. Like the last species Sir Joseph Hooker examined 

 it and made notes on it shortly before his death and gave it the 

 above manuscript name. It belongs to the same section as the 

 last but is distinct in being quite glabrous like I. Curtisii of 

 the Taiping Hills but has lanceolate not ovate leaves. /. 

 Wrayi, Hook. fil. from the same district has hairy leaves, an 

 orbicular standard not narrowed at the base and a central 

 raised line with an erect tooth in the centre, the wings are very 

 unequally lobed and the seed is hairy. I. sarcantha, Hook. fil. 

 from the Telom river has broad hairy leaves and an obovate 

 standard, emarginate with a strong central keel running the 

 whole length, and oblong truncate unequal lobes to the wings. 

 The seeds are glabrous.
