 3 inches wide also occurs here. Distrib. Malaya.

 R. pauciflora, n. sp. R. longiflora, var. Major King. 



Climber with the thorns short hooked like those of 

 R. longiflora. Leaves elliptic, acuminate, narrowed a little 

 at the base, 4 to 5 inches long, li to 2 inches wide, thinly 

 coriaceous, dark coloured when dry, glabrous, nerves 5 

 pairs, petiole 4 inch long. Stipules short broad, truncate 

 with a straight edge. Cymes of three flowers axillary. 

 Peduncle under 4 inch. Pedicels longer. Bracts ovate, 

 calyx broad funnel-shaped, lobes short ovate over i inch 

 long. Corolla tube li inch long, moderately stout, limb 

 J to li inch across, lobes 6 obovate. Stamens not apicu- 

 late, partly exsert. Pungah (Curtis). 



This seems to me very distinct from the common 

 R. longiflora, Lam., to which Eving refers it as a variety.
