92 NEW AND BARE MALAYAN PLANTS. 



V. Teysmanni, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. ii .p. 1062. The plants referred 

 to this species by King and Gamble, cannot I think be this 

 Javanese species, which was ovoid, not cylindric corollas. I 

 propose the name of V. perakense for the plant so described 

 by King in the Materials. 



Vaccinium Wrayi, n. sp. 



A tree. Leaves small elliptic slightly narrowed at both 

 ends stiffly coriaceous, nerves faint but visible when dry as are 

 reticulations, 6 pairs, 1.25-2 in. long .75-1 in. wide, petiole 

 thick .1 in. long. Eacemes 3 inches long, flowers scattered, 

 all puberulous. Pedicels decurved .15 in. Calyx flat saucer- 

 like with 5 large triangular lobes spreading. Corolla reddish 

 pink, conoid-cylindric .15 in. long puberulous outside, hairy 

 within, lobes short, rounded. Stamens very short, filaments very 

 short with long hairs. Anthers small ellipsoid, the tubes short 

 curved forwards, shorter than anther, a dorsal filiform process 

 on the back of the anther. Style shorter than the corolla, 

 little longer than the stamens pubescent. Disc hairy. Fruit 

 globose minutely puberulous disc short hairy hemispheric. 

 Sepals as long as disc, acute. 



Perak ; Camp on Ulu Batang, Padang 4,900 ft. ( Wraij 

 1528). "Tree, flower reddish-pink, fruit green, leaf -stalks 

 crimson." 



Erroneously referred to V. bancanum, Miq. by King, 

 which it is perhaps allied to as it has the same peculiar trum- 

 pet-shaped spurs to the anther. In all other points however, 

 it is quite different. 



Vaccinium Kunstleri, King, appears to me to be a form 

 only of V. bancanum, Miq. 



MYRSINEAE. 

 Ardisia singaporensis, n. sp. 



A small tree. The young parts densely red scurfy. 

 Leaves thinly coriaceous elliptic lanceolate acuminate acute 

 base narrowed edge slightly wavy closely gland-dotted, glabrous 

 above scurfy beneath chiefly on the midrib on young leaves, 

 nerves about 18 pairs fine and inconspicuous, secondary nerves 

 nearly as conspicuous 4.5 to 7 inches long, 1.75-2 in. wide, 

 petiole .5 in. long. Panicles in terminal axils scurfy, of several 

 umbels on peduncles 1 in. long, secondary peduncles .5, pedi- 

 cels .2 dilate upwards. Flowers bright pink .1 in. long. Buds 

 ovoid. Calyx and lobes small oblong ovate scurfy. Corolla 

 lobes ovate acute glabrous. Drupe globose .2 in. through, 

 black.
