114 AN ACCOUNT OF A BOTANICAL EXPEDITION 



ovate connate hairy, bracts below the calyx. Calyx green 

 woolly (when dry ferrugineous) and gummy, cylindric 

 with 8 subulate teeth, f inch long, as long as the corolla 

 tube. Corolla white densely appressed hairy, lobes 8, 

 oblong obtuse, hairy outside glabrous within, a ring of 

 hairs within the tube. Stamens 8 adnate to the mouth 

 of the corolla tube, anthers linear extruded. Fruit as 

 large as and resembling a pomegranate, 3 inches through 

 globose, brown velvety, crowned by the calyx tube, i inch 

 long, ending in irregular points, 2 celled. Seeds numerous 

 ovoid i inch long, dark brown, slightly flattened, imbedded 

 in a bitter pulp. 



Keith gives petals 10, stamens 10, sepals 5 with 5 

 smaller ones between, but all his specimens have the 

 parts in eights. The flowers perhaps, vary in the fiumber 

 of parts. He describes the fruit as 1-celled, yellow green, 

 hard apple looking. It so closely resembles a pomegra- 

 nate, that the plant collector took it for one. 



In the Flora of British India this is given as a 

 synonym of Gardenia tomentosa Bl. mss. in Dec. Prod. 

 IV. 379, the description of which is "inermis, ramulis 

 foliis, calycibusque velutino-tomentosis, foliis obovato- 

 cuneatis floribus terminalibus sessilibus solitariis, calycis 

 tubo angulato et costato dentibus 10 subulatis brevibus, 

 corollae lobi 10 obovato-oblongi, tubus vix calyce longior" 

 I have italicised the points in which the Setul plant 

 differs, and as they are rather important ones prefer to 

 retain Kurz's Gardenia dasycarpa name till it is certain 

 that the Java plant collected by Blume is identical.

Perlis at Kanga in open country, (15009.) Some 

 plants had larger leaves than usual lanceolate and rather 

 broad, as much as six inches long. 



This plant was originally collected by me on the 

 Pahang river (not Penang as given in the Materials) dis- 

 tributed unc'er the number 1311, and described in the 



Jour, Straits Br~rch
