TO LOWER SI AM. 7 



Kasum, abundant and very variable in colour and 

 marking of leaves, on limestone rocks (Curtis No. 3234). 

 Thisplant has fairly large tubers and dies completely down 

 in the dry season. It seems to be nearest to B. integri- 

 folia Dalz and B guttata Wall. 



B sinuata Wall. A small plant of this came up in a pot 

 with plants from Lankawi in the Singapore Botanic 

 Gardens in 1892. It was rather an odd form as the leaves 

 were quite round and hardly cordate and nearly entire, 

 but I have no doubt that it is this peninsula plant. It 

 also grows at Telayah Tujoh, Burau. 



B prcuclara King. Lankawi (Curtis) this also occurs in the 

 Telom Valley, see the account of this plant in the Flora 

 of Telom and Batang Padang valley.".

Lankawi at Kwah (Curtis. Kidley 8350). 



Allied to Tr. bracteata but with curiously laciniate 

 hand shaped bracts. The young parts of the plant are
