NEW AND RARE MALAYAN PLANTS. 21 
on the ends of the branches. Bracts and bracteoles lanceolate, the 
former 4 inch long in pairs, the uppermost ones orbicular with 
ciliate margins. Calyx lobes orbicular margins ciliate. Corolla 
greenish white rather coriaceous, lobes valvate ovate shorter than 
the tube. Anthers linear acuminate. 
Pahang: Kwala Tembeling, Tahan river (Becher’s expedition) ; 
Selangor: near the Batu Caves (No. 8258); Perak at Tapah; St. 
Barbe isle, South of Singapore (Lauglasse). In thick woods. 
The name is associated with Mr. H. M. Becher, an explorer 
-drowned accidentally in the river ahan in 1893, during an ex- 
pedition in which this plant was collected. 
J cannot find any genus which can include this plant. -It has 
the appearance to some extent of an Adenosacme, but the fruit 
which I have not seen fully ripe separates it. The enlargement 
of the calyx into distinct wings is curious. 
Ixora micrantha, n. sp. 
Large shrub. Leaves thinly coriaceous lanceolate acuminate 
at both ends but more gradually at the base 4 inches long, one inch 
wide, nerves 9 not very conspicuous, petiole 4 inch long, winged 
to the base. Stipules abruptly subulate from a broad base 4 inch 
long, compound cymes terminal 4 inches long, peduncles of cyme 
14-2 inches long red brown, ‘minutely hairy secondary branches 
about an inch long, pedicels very short, central flowers of cyme 
nearly sessile. Bracts ovate acuminate yy inch long, or less. 
Calyx small campanulate with 4 very short rounded lobes 75 
inch long. Corolla tube nearly } inch long slender, lobes oblong 
rounded at the tip, whole limb about 4 inch long. 
Selangor: Sempang mines. 
This .species seems most nearly allied to some forms of I. 
grandifolia, Wall. 
_Timonus Finlaysoniana, Hook. fil. 
This is reduced to a variety of 7. Jambosella by King: and 
Gamble, but that can hardly be maintained. ‘The plant is a tidal 
mud bush with white flowers, and-very different from the open 
country yellow flowered 7. jambosella in almost every organ. It 
is undoubtedly as good a species as any in the genus. 
Timonius malaccensis, King and Gamble. 
The type of this is given as collected by me on Mt. Ophir No. 
3217, but the only Timonius collected by me there bears the number 
3231. 
This is a shrub, resembling T. Rum phiti, (which is a tree how- 
ever) but differs in ‘such characters as one would expect to find in 
-a mountain region. There is also another species in Mt. Ophir, 
-or it may be a further modified form, described further on. 
_ Neither exactly fit King and Gamble’s description. Another moun- 
tain Timonius was collected on Gunong Tahan by Robinson and .
