New and Rare Malayan Plants (Series VI.) 
By. Ho N. -Rimeey. 
This paper is a continuation of the previous series of des- 
criptions of new plants of our region chiefly from the Malay 
Peninsula, the specimens of which are preserved in the Singapore 
Gardens Herbarium. Some are plants which have been collected 
some years ago but not previously described, others have been re- 
cently collected by myself in various expeditions, or sent by col- 
lectors. 
TERNSTROEMIACEAE. 
Sarauja (§ Cauliflores) rubens, n. sp. 
A large shrub or small tree about 20 ft. tall glabrous, leaves 
oblanceolate narrowed gradually to the base and decurrent on the 
petiole broadest in the upper part, shortly acute, rather thin tex- 
tured, nerves 14 pairs, dark above, a little paler beneath, margins 
entire, 9 inches long 4 inches wide, petiole 14 inch long. Flowers 
in clusters on the base of the trunk numerous on pedicels 2 inches 
long. Buds bright rose pink. Calyx lobes ovate orbicular rounded 
deep rose pink 4 inch long. Petals ovate orbicular white. Stamens 
about 20 free from the corolla. Anthers oblong opening by pores. 
Ovary glabrous, not scaly. Styles 3 united for half their length. 
Selangor: Semangkok Pass, at the foot of the hill leading to 
the Sempang mines. 
This belongs to the group of Saraujas which bear the flowers 
in tufts on the stems and is allied to S. cauliflora, Bl. differing 
in its glabrousness, the bright cherry red sepals and buds, free 
stamens, and connate styles. 
Hurya acuminata var. monticola. 
Small tree 20-30 feet tall, branches and young leaves silky hairy. 
Leaves entire coriaceous, apex lout acuminate quite blunt, base 
rounded or slightly narrowed, #-2 inches long, 4-2 inches wide, 
drying greenish above wallow de beneath, above glabrous beneath 
nerves and midrib hairy. Flowers nearly glabrous, buds ovoid 
obtuse. Sepals and petals as in type form. Styles connate for 
$ of their length. 
Pahang: -Gunong Berembun (No. 13909); Perak: Gunong 
Kerbau (Aniff) at 6000 ft. 
. This appears to me to be a mountain form of FH. acuminata, 
DeC. The leaves are more coriaceous and quite blunt at the tip, 
and the branches very hairy. The Gunong Kerbau plant has very 
small leaves, which occasionally show traces of serration.
