a NEW AND RARE MALAYAN PLANTS. a) 
appendages long linear acuminate thin membranous and translucent 
white. 
Perak: Tapah on trees on the Temoh Road (Ridley 14059). 
A most remarkable plant with its hard stiff leaves roughened 
with short tooth-like processes at the edge, hairy pedicels and long 
thin stamen appendages. 
Hoya occlusa, n. sp. 
Stem rather stout four angled, bark pale. Leaves ovate acu- 
minate in pairs, base obtuse glabrous above shining greenish when 
dry, below brownish, coriaceous, nerves 5 pairs rising at an acute 
angle, slender, elevated beneath, 4+ inches long 2 inches wide, petiole | 
1 inch long. Pedunele axillary stout angled 2 inches long, rachis 
of raceme thickened. Flowers numerous crowded on slender pedi- 
cels 4 inch long, hairy. Sepals linear lanceolate acuminate nearly 
$ds as long as the petals. Petals ovate obtuse 4 inch long glabrous, 
campanulate. Column as long as the sepals. Coronal lobe of 5 — 
processes, lower lobes shorter than upper fleshy, apex broad lan-., 
ceolate, upper ones lanceolate oblong with broad scarious edges.

Selangor: Top of the Batu Caves, Dec. 1890 (Ridley). 
This species is remarkable in that it appears not to fully open its 
flowers, the petals not being spr eading nor reflexed, the corona lobes 
are not polished as is usual in the genus and the lower lobes are 
short. 
Dischidia singaporensis, n. ‘sp. 
Slender climbing with orbicular ovate more rarely lanceolate 
leaves, bases rounded, apex usually acute glabrous fleshy 3 inch 
long 4 inch es lanceolate ones nearly 2 inches long by 1 inch 
wide, enale 4 + inch long, nerves invisible, midrib slender pro- 
minent. Flowers on a short peduncle with thickened rachis, 
pedicels slender short hairy. Calyx lobes ovate pulobeiee hairy. 
Corolla dilated at base gradually narrowed upwards 4 inch long 
pubescent lobes hairy at the tip, lobes linear obtuse. Coronal scales 
retuse at top with 2 recurved linear arms. Staminal cofumn tall, 
basal lobes double cylindric pale as long as upper lobes, obtuse. 
Pollen masses elliptic pyritorm sealed on short brown pollen carriers. 
Singapore: Changi Police Station, Bukit Mandai on a high 
H 
tree. 
This is distinct in its rather atee corolla dilated at the base 
and narrowed at the apex. with pubescent lobes. D. Deschampsii, 
King and Gamble of which only leaves and peduncles are described 
cannot I think be intended for this as the nerves are invisible in 
this species though described in D. Descham psi. 
Dischidia rosea, n. sp. 
Stem slender elongate. Leaves in distinct pairs, 14 inch apart. 
ovate quite obtuse subcordate fleshy, when dry with one pair of ©
