88 NEW AND RAKE MALAYAN PLANTS. 



Psychotria setistipula, n. sp. 



A shrul). Bark pale. Leaves coriaceous lanceolate, gla- 

 brous narrowed to both ends, the acuminatum longest at base 

 from the middle of the leaf, underside paler than upper, nerves 

 12 pairs, faint, 4-5 in. long, 1.5 in. wide, petiole .5 in. long. 

 Stipules broad oblong truncate with a long setiforni cusp 

 rising from the back, ('vines terminal 3 3 peduncle 2 in. long 

 glabrous brandies .5-1 in. long puberulous, bearing 1-3 globose 

 umbelled cymules at the tip .3 in. through. Bracts lanceolate 

 acuminate. Bracteoles usually blunt. 



Selangor; Gunong Mengkuang Lebar {Robinson). 



This plant (only in young bud unfortunately) resembles 

 P. angulata, Korth., but the stipules are quite different, the 

 leaves more coriaceous and the inflorescence puberulous. 



Psychotria minutiflora, n. sp. 



Stems glabrous. Leaves membranous elliptis. lanceolate 

 acuminate, base long, narrowed. (Irving black, nerves lo pairs 

 conspicuous elevate beneath (i-1 in. long, 1.5-2 in. wide, petiole 

 slender 1.5-2 in. long. Stipules broad, oblong, abruptly blunt 

 acuminate, connate edge ciliate .(> in. long. Cyme panicled 

 sessile, many-flowered, 1.5 in. long, 2 in. wide. Calyx short 

 cup-shaped, narrowed below the broad short toothed limb. Co- 

 rolla .05 tubular, short, lobes as long as tube, 5 reflexed, mouth 

 tomentose. Anthers short, filament in mouth of tube project- 

 ing. Style longer bilobed with thick lobes at apex. Ovary 

 2-celled, 2-seeded. 



Selaxgor; Ginting Sempah (Biille[!). 



Cephaelis. 



.The Malayan species of this genus have been much con- 

 fused in the Flora of British India and especially in King's 

 Materials. The succulence of the plants makes them often 

 difficult to dry properly and consequently specimens are often 

 troublesome to make out. 



C. cuneatum, Korth. This plant a native of Mount Singa- 

 lan in Sumatra cannot possibly be the narrow leaved plant of 

 Mount Ophir, as it is described by Korthals as having obovate 

 leaves. It is however, so identified in both the works above 

 referred to. I propose for the Mount Ophir plant the name 

 of Cephaelis an gusti folia, n. sp. 



Herbaceous plant, stem slender, not or hardly branched. 

 Leaves linear lanceolate acuminate, long — narrowed to the base, 

 and to the apex from the middle, fleshy membranous, nerves 

 fine, about 15 pairs, slender curved ascending, 6-9 in. long, 

 1-1.5 in. wide, petiole 1.5 in. long. Stipules connate in a 

 tube with two acuminate points .2 in. long. Peduncle slender
