Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
length -5 to -75 in. ; breadth -3 to -5 in.; petioles about -05 in. long, hairy. 
Flowers '2 to - 25 in. long, axillary, usually solitary, deeurved ; pedicels 
■05 in. long, or less. Calyx inferior, about -2 in. across, flat, deeply 
divided into 5 broadly triangular, sub-acute, spreading lobes. Corolla 
glabrous, widely cylindric-campanulate, deeply cut into 5 broadly 
triangular acute or sub-acute erect lobes. Stamens 10, from the base of 
the corolla ; anthers oblong, each with an apical process shorter than 
itself but with no basal appendage ; filaments shorter than the anthers, 
curved, expanded at the base. Ovary superior, broad with flat apex. 
Style cylindric, as long as the corolla ; stigma capitate ; ovules few in 
each cell. Fruit globular, surrounded by and adherent to the calyx,

3. Vaccinium glabrescens, n. sp., King & Gamble. Epiphytic; 
young branches rather thicker than a crow-quill, dark-coloured when 
dry, minutely pubescent. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic, the apex sub- 
obtuse, the base sub-truncate and minutely cordate ; upper surface dark 
olivaceous-brown when dry, reticulate, smooth, shining ; lower surface 
brown when dry, minutely pubescent like the petiole (glabrescent when 
old) ; main-nerves 3 or 4 pairs, pinnate, ascending, rather straight ; 
length 1 to 1-35 in. ; breadth -6 to 1 in. ; petiole under - 1 in. long. 
Racemes solitary, terminal, 3 or 4 times longer than the leaves, bearing 
at the base of each flower a large lanceolate pubescent deciduous bract 
•4 in. long and about - 2 in. broad at the middle. Fruit sub-rotund or 
ellipsoid, baccate, softly and minutely pubescent, crowned by the 
inflexed triangular calyx-teeth, -2 in. long and -15 in. in diam., 5-celled, 
each cell with several angled seeds. 
Perak : Scortechini (without number). 
4. Vaccinium viscifolium, n. sp., King & Gamble. Young 
branches half as thick as a goose-quill, striate and pale-brown when 
dry. Leaves very coriaceous, broadly oblaneeolate or spathulate, the 
apex very blunt, narrowed from below the middle to the short flattened 
petiole, the edges slightly recurved ; upper surface olivaceous when 
dry, the lower bright brown, both glabrous ; main-nerves 2 or 3 pairs, 
originating from the midrib near its base, ascending, little curved, very 
prominent like the midrib on the upper surface but faint on the lower; 
length 2 to 2-75 in. ; breath -8 to P25 in. ; petioles about - 1 in. Racemes 
terminal and axillary, often forming, from the fall of the leaves, pseudo-
