Perak; Gunong Kerbau 4,500 ft. (Robinson) a single 

 specimen. 



I took this for an abnormally glabrous specimen of A. 

 involucratum, Hemsl., but it differs so markedly in its nerve- 

 less fleshy leaves, the curious involucral bracts, all toothed con- 

 spicuously, and the large broad lobed corolla that it must be 

 considered distinct. 



Argostemma trichanthum, Hill. 



AVhole plant 4 inches long, stem ascending, hairy, with 

 curled viscid hair-. Leaves very unequal, larger one lanceo- 

 late, subacutely acuminate narrowed or not to unequally cor- 

 date base, membranous, glabrous above, sparsely hairy beneath. 

 more so on the midrib and on the seven pairs of slender nerves
