134 AN ACCOUNT OF A BOTANICAL EXPEDITION 



This is extremely unlike any other Wrightia and seems 

 intermediate between this genus and Strophanthus. It 

 only differs from that genus in its short, blunt, entire 

 coronal processes, and if not kept in Strophanthus might 

 be better placed in its old genus Cameraria. The flower 

 is cherry pink within, withering scarlet, outside whitish 

 flesh colour, not orange as King and Gamble give it. The 

 variety membranifolia based on the Tongka plant by King 

 and Gamble is not worth retaining. It is typical W. chibia 

 with a slight variation in the leaves often seen. 



W. religiosa Benth. Perlis, Telok Jambu (14949), and other 

 places round Kanga, a bush in rice fields, common. 

 Kasum (Curtis), Lankawi, Kuala Kwah (Aniff). 



The localities Singapore and Malacca given in the 

 materials are doubtless from cultivated plants. It is 

 commonly grown as a pot plant by Chinese.
