NEW AND BARE MALAYAN PLANTS. 35 



Perak. Gunong Keledang (Ridley). Bindings. Lu- 

 mut and Bruas (Ridley). 



Allied to C. latifolia, Eidl., but differing in the very 

 tomentose branches, backs of leaves and petioles. 



Homalium spathulatum, n. sp. 



A glabrous tree. Leaves thinly coriaceous, elliptic acu- 

 minate, tip blunt, base narrowed, entire or undulate on the 

 edge ; nerves about 7 pairs, very fine and rather obscure, as 

 are the reticulations, shining, -1 in. long, 1.5 in. wide; petiole 

 .2 in long. Kacemes axillary, simple, 3 in. long, tomentose, 

 slender. Flowers numerous, not clustered, subsessile .2 in. 

 across. Calyx-tube funnel-shaped, tomentose .1 in. long- 

 lobes very narrow linear, 10, edged with long white hairs. 

 Petals 10, a little longer, linear spathulate. Stamens shorter, 

 2 opposite each petal. Glands villous. Styles 3, glabrous. 



Bindings. Pangkor (Curtis 1370). 



This differs from IT. myrianthum, Bak. in Kew Bull. 

 1896, p. 23, of Sandakan in the panicled racemes, funnel- 

 shaped calyx and nearly sessile flowers. 



BEGONIACEAE. 



Begonia phoeniogramma, n. sp. B. paupercula, Eidl. in Journ. 

 Eov. As. Soc. Straits Branch, 54, p. 42, not of King. 



This little plant I find, on seeing the co-type of King's 

 B. paupercula in Herb. Kew, is not the species he intended, I 

 therefore give it the above name which refers to the red stripes 

 on the small flowers. It was formerly very common on the 

 path leading up to the Batu Caves, Selangor ; but at my last 

 visit I noticed that it had become scarce owing to a series of 

 steps having been made up the slope where it grew. I have 

 seen it nowhere else. 



Begonia tricornis, n. sp. B. Ro.rburgliii, Ridl. in Journ. Fed. 

 Malay States Mus. iv. 20, not of DC. This plant is really 

 more near allied to B. infiata, Clarke, of the Himalayas, but is 

 distinct from all species of the section. It is the only one m 

 the Malay Peninsula of the section Casparya, (with pulpy 

 3-angled not winged green fruit). 



Begonia Iongicaulis, n. sp. 



Stem elongated, red, with internodes 2.5 in. long, glab- 

 rous. Leaves ovate cuspidate, base deeply cordate, very un- 

 equal, 3 in. long, 2.5 in. wide ; petiole 4 — 6 in. long. Stipules 

 persistent, oblong with a terminal setiform process, 1.1 in. long, 

 .2 in. wide. Peduncle 6 in. long, with 2 terminal flowers on
