4. Rhododendron perakense, n. sp., King & Gamble. Epi- 
phytic ; a small shrub with very scaly young branches as thick as a 
crow-quill. Leaves very coriaceous, obovate or broadly oblanceolate, 
obtuse, much narrowed to the base, the edges recurved ; upper surface 
olivaceous when dry, at first with a few large scales but ultimately 
glabrous, reticulate, the midrib depressed ; lower surface dark brown,

prominent ; main-nerves 2 (rarely 3) pairs, spreading, very prominent 
on the under surface, and, like the midrib, with persistent large dark 
scales ; length -6 to -8 in. ; breadth -3 to '4 in. ; petioles about '1 in. long. 
Umbels terminal, 3- to 5-flowered, covered in bud by broad rounded 
deciduous bracts with ciliate edges ; pedicels - 25 to '3 in. long, slightly 
scaly. Floivcrs '35 to -4 in. long. Calyx shallow, cupular, its edges
