Timonius, n. sp. 



In Curtis, Lankawi collections, I have two specimens 

 of a Timonius (No. 2544 ) which evidently belong to an 

 undescribed species but unfortunately possess no flowers 

 or fruit. The twigs are slender and dark and when young 

 covered as are the shoots and nerves of the leaf with 

 rather long red hairs, The leaves are lanceolate, acumi- 

 nate 3-4 inches long, -£ to li inch wide, rather thin in 

 texture with short hairs sprinkled over the upper surface, 

 especially on the ribs, beneath the nerves are more 

 prominent, thickly covered with close appressed red hairs, 

 the petiole 4-2 inch long, also densely hairy. 



King has written on the sheet of this "probably a 

 form of T. Bumphii" but I can hardly think it can be that. 

 I know no form of T. Bumphii at all like it. It would be 

 advisable to get fully complete specimens before naming 

 it as a distinct species. 



Diplospora malaccensis, var. Lankawi, Sungei Batu Asap 

 (Aniff). The leaves are thinner than usual. I found 

 this also at Burau, as a shrub, with red berries. It 

 is possibly a distinct species, but I have not seen flowers. 



Distrib. of species Malay peninsula. 



Canthium parvifolium, Roxb. Setul Heaths, (15006) Lan- 

 kawi common at Buran. 



Distrib. India, Malay peninsula, Java.
