ovate-orbicular, flat, i in. long. Hab. Pahang, Bentong, Benus 
valley (Burkill 16,404). 
This fine species is nearest to B. calycina, but with very much 
larger leaves and flowers. I suppose it to be a climber. 
Vol. i. p. 629, after sp. 10, Bauhinia cornifolia Bak., insert :— 
(ioa) B. breviflora Ridl. 
Climber, nearly glabrous, with stout tendrils. Leaves cori¬ 
aceous, ovate to nearly orbicular, retuse, base broad, rounded 
subcordate; nerves 9, radiatiijg from base, strongly elevate beneath, 
reticulations minute, conspicuous; 4 in. long and as wide; petioles 
1*75 in. long, thickened at tip and base. Racemes axillary and 
crowded at the apex, 3-5 to 4 in. long, many flowered, scurfy puber- 
ulous. Bracts very small, ovate, pedicels 3 in. long, slender. Buds 
ovoid glabrous, ribbed. Sepals 4, coriaceous lanceolate blunt, 
channelled, glabrous, -25 in. long. Petals 5, sub-orbicular, clawed,

•3 in. long. Stamens 3, very short; filaments short, thick, silky 
hairy; anthers large oblong obtuse, cells large ellipsoid. Pistil 
short hairy, -25 in. long, stalked. Stigma large round. Hah. 
Pahang, Raub (Burkill 16,867). 
The foliage of this plant resembles that of B. cornifolia, but it 
is much more glabrous, and the flowers, which appear to be cream- 
white, not orange-red, are smaller.
