70 NEW AND KAKE MALAYAN PLANTS. 



The section Coriaceae. (Journ. Boy. As. Soc. Str. Br. 

 57, p. 45) forms the genus Oritreplies, Ridl. and A. collinus, 

 Eidl. is referred to Oxyspora. A. fruticosus, Eidl. which seems 

 most nearly allied to Oritreplies, but has a fruit more resem- 

 bling that of a Sonerila cannot be fitted into any of these 

 genera and I separate it into a distinct genus under the name 

 of Perilimnastes. 



Perilimnastes, gen. nov. 



Shrub, leaves subcoriaceous lanceolate acuminate, flowers 

 1-3 subumbellate calyx tube little dilate, lobes subulate. Petals 

 4 lanceolate acute stamens 8 anthers unequal acuminate 

 base emarginate not appendaged, capsule obconic 4 angled 

 smooth, with 4 inflexed valves, as in Sonerila. Species 1, 

 Anerincleistus fruticosus, Ridl. 



Pahaxg. 



Sonerila patula, n. sp. 



A much branched spreading shrub about 12 in. tall, 

 branched from the base, stems hairy with dense appressed 

 hairs. Leaves lanceolate, acute with base acute, appressed 

 hairy all over, subequal nerves 3, lowest leaves biggest 1.75 to 

 2-5 in. long, .3-. 5 in. wide, petiole .1 in. Cymes chiefly soli- 

 tary axillary in leaf axils and between the branches, peduncle 

 1 in. Flowers small, white 2-3 in a cyme. Calyx campanu- 

 late, lobes lanceolate acute, subulate. Petals triangular acu- 

 minte .1 in. Stamens 3, anthers elliptic blunt. Capsule 

 trigonous turbinate, smooth, .2 in. long, pedicel stout .4.

 3,300 ft. alt. 



The leaves of this are occasionally markedly unequal in 

 size. It is allied to S. albiftora, Stapf, but its narrow leaves 

 and spreading branches make it unlike anything in the Malay 

 Peninsula. 



Sonerila beiluta, n. sp. 



A delicate unbranched herb. 2-4 in. tall, base creeping 

 quite glabrous. Leaves crowded at the top, narrow, lanceolate, 

 subacute, narrowed to the base spine-toothed on the margin, 

 dark green above, pale beneath .75 to 1.25 in. long .2 in across, 

 nerves pinnate ascending about 4 pairs, petiole very slender, 

 .3 in. long or less. Flowers about 5 cymose on a slender 

 peduncle .75 in. long. Calyx slender cylindric, campanulate 

 teeth short, triangular, green. Petals oblong cuspidate rose- 

 pink .2 in. long. Anthers shorty acuminate. Capsule smooth, 

 obconic gradually narrowed to the pedicel .2 in. long, pedicel 

 .1 in.
