Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
Perak : Scortechini. 
Very near A . Wrayi, but differs especially in the coriaceous leaves and the shorter 
and much thicker pedicels. 
37. Aedisia pebakensis, King & Gamble, n. sp. A small bush ; 
branchlets pale brown, smooth, wrinkled when dry ; innovations densely 
rusty-glandular-pubescent. Leaves membranous ; elliptic-lanceolate, 
long acute both at apex and base ; nearly glabrous on both surfaces 
but with small peltate scales, young leaves rusty-glandular-pubescent ; 
margin slightly recurved, shortly and shallowly crenate or nearly den- 
tate except on the lower third and at the apex, glands in the crenatures 
present, obscure ; glandular dots absent or very sparse ; 2-5 to 4 in. long, 
•75 to 1'25 in. broad; midrib slender; main-nerves about 16 pairs, rather 
irregular in angle and distance, meeting near the margin in an irregularly 
looped intramarginal nerve, reticulations many, transverse, all raised 
on lower surface ; petiole slender, -2 to '4 in. long, bordered by the 
decurrent margins of the blade. Inflorescence of small, 2-3-flowered, 
rusty-glandular, pubescent, pedunculate umbels from the axils of upper 
leaves or of reduced bract-like leaves ; peduncles '3 in. long ; pedicels 
•1 to • 2 in. long ; bracteoles ovate, minute ; buds ovoid, pale pink. 
Calyx-lobes triangular-ovate, acute, minutely pubescent and gland- 
dotted, -05 in. long. Corolla-lobes ovate, acute, -1 to -15 in. long, 
glabrous, sparsely black-gland-dotted. Stamens a little shorter than 
corolla-lobes ; filaments almost none ; anthers ovate, acute, - 1 in. long. 
Ovary rounded, glabrous; style subulate, '075 in. long. Berry not 
known. 
Peeak: at 300 feet in Upper Perak, Wray 3462. 
38. Aedisia Meziana, King & Gamble, n. sp. A herbaceous under- 
shrub, 1 to 2 feet in height, stem 2 in. in diam. ; bark soft, pale brown, 
upper parts and innovations rusty-glandular pubescent. Leaves charta- 
ceous ; elliptic-obovate, shortly and abruptly acuminate at apex, cuneate 
at base ; glabrous above, sparsely glandular-pubescent beneath ; margins 
rather narrowly crenate-dentate except in the lower third to half 
and at the acumination, recurved, glands in the crenatures obscure ; 
glandular dots many, scattered, inconspicuous ; 3 p 5 to 5'5 in. long, 
1-5 to 2 in. broad ; midrib slender ; main-nerves 10 to 14 pairs, at an 
angle of about 60° with the midrib, at first straight afterwards curved 
upwards to anastomose near the margin ; secondary nerves few, reticu- 
lations oblique, all more or less raised on both surfaces when dry , 
petiole - 3 to -5 in. long, somewhat thickened below, densely rusty- 
glandular-pubescent. Inflorescence of very short, sessile, rusty-glandular- 
pubescent racemes of about 6 flowers each, in the axils of the leaves all
