82 NEW AND EAEE MALAYAN PLANTS. 



Curtis collected this without fruit or flowers in the Lan- 

 kawi Islands (No, 2544) I made a note on it in Journ. Roy. 

 As. Soc. Str. Br. 59, p. 115. Njow good flowering specimens 

 come from Pulau Dayang Bunting collected by H. C. Eobin- 

 son, No. 6229 of his collection labelled " small bush flowers, 

 white." The hairs on this plant are described by me as red, 

 the foliage was however, older. In Robinson's specimens the 

 leaves are mostly hardly developed and the hairs are white and 

 silky. 



Coffea viridiflora, n. sp. 



Shrub glabrous 12-14 ft. tall. Leaves fleshy, membranous 

 elliptic, oblong, cuspidate (cusp blunt 1 in. long) nerves 8-9 

 pairs, slender ascending, midrib channelled above, base cuneate 

 decurrent on the channelled petiole, 8 in. long, 3 in. wide; 

 petiole rather thick 75 in. Stipules caducous. Flowers in 

 axillary heads in each leaf axil, sessile or shortly peduncled, 

 few green. Calyces connate in a head sessile gummy. Corolla 

 .2 in. long, tube cvlindric, lobes linear acuminate 4, contort 

 half as long. Anthers shortly projecting, rather large. Fruit 

 globose .3 in. through crowned with circular calyx scar. Seeds 

 2 semi-oblong, back round, front flat .2 in. long. 



Selangor; Batu Caves (Ridley). Perak; Waterloo 

 (Curtis 1304). 



Ixora montana, n. sp. 



A shrub with pale bark. Leaves coriaceous, oblong ovate 

 base round, nerves over 12 pairs, strongly elevate beneath as 

 are the reticulations, over 6 in. long, 3.5 in. wide, petiole .2 in. 

 Corymb dense, many-flowered, 4 in. across, peduncle 6 in. 

 long with a pair of sessile ovate acuminate leaves 2.5 in. long, 

 1 in. wide at base. Bracts linear, acuminate. Branches hairy. 

 Calyx glabrous, tubes subglobose small with shorter ovate acute 

 teeth. Corolla light red, tube .75 in. long, lobes broad, oblong, 

 rounded. 



Perak, Gunong Kerbau (Aniff). 



The specimen is very imperfect but it seems quite distinct 

 from I. opaca which is the nearest thing to it. 



Ixora grandifolia, Zoll & Moritz Yerz. 65. 



Under this name Hooker and King have collected a variety 

 of species forming a group of species rather than a single one. 

 Among the plants thus included by King are Ixora grandifolia, 

 Zoll. and Mor. a big tree with white flowers, of which he des- 

 cribes a variety gig ant ea, but I see no difference between this 

 variety and his type-species (which is not Zollinger's plant) 

 and is described below. Next comes his variety coriacea in 

 which following Hooker he includes at least two distinct
