(1) L. alpina Mill. Did. ed. 8, No. 5; Bot Mag. t. 205. 
Dwarf plant 3 to 6 in. tall. Leaves linear-oblong spathulate 
narrow, glaucous, *5 in. long, whorled fleshy. Raceme terminal; 
pedicels 2 to 3 times as long as calyx. Corolla 1 in. long, violet 
purple, palate orange, spur conic, 1 in. long. Hab. Malacca, Mt. 
Ophir (Hullett, April 1888). Distrib. Alps of Europe. 
I have seen two specimens collected by Mr. Hullett, who got it, as he 
told me, on the rocks of the stream below the camp on Padang Batu. I 
failed to find it there myself. Mr. Hullett collected only in the Malay region, 
and had no European collections. No species of this type of Unarm is 
known from Tropical Asia, and it is, of course, impossible for the plant to 
have got to Mt. Ophir by human agency. I cannot account for this extra¬ 
ordinary distribution.
