SUPPLEMENT 
by Horsfield. Bennett’s description is very incomplete, but the 
type in Herb, Brit. Mus. is a good one. Bennett’s name antedates 
that of Clarke and should therefore be substituted for it. 
Vol. ii. p. 55, sp. I, Xanthophytum capitatum Ridl., note :— 
This name has been anticipated by Valeton, so I change it to X. 
capitellatum, Ridl. Add also : — 
(2) X. biceps Ridl. 
Rhizome woody. Stem 8 in. tall, woody, shortly hairy. Leaves 
herbaceous, equal, ovate sub-acute, base shortly unequally narrowed; 
nerves 9 pairs; both surfaces sprinkled with pale multi-cellular 
hairs densely covering the nerves and midrib; 4 in. long, 2 in. wide; 
petioles i in. long, densely hairy. Stipules large, broadly ovate 
acute, -2 in. long and as wide. Flowers white, very small, in 
dense heads, -2 in. long, in pairs in the axils; peduncles very short, 
fleshy. Bracts lanceolate acute, densely hairy. Calyx short 
campanulate, lobes 5, lanceolate acute, densely hairy. Corolla- 
very short, lobes 5, ovate, all hairy. Stamens 5; filaments short, 
anthers as long, oblong blunt, in a circle in bud, blackish grey. 
Style cylindric, as long. Disc large, white, circular. Hah. Pahang, 
Ulu Tahan (Burkill 17,463). 
This differs from X. capitellatum, Ridl., in the absence of the red 
hairs of that species, and the equal leaves and the heads in pairs. 
Vol. ii. p. 104, after sp. 5, Tarenna salicina Ridl., insert :— 
(5a) T. lancifolia Ridl.

on midrib and nerves beneath, drying black; nerves ascending, 
10 pairs, slender, midrib channelled above; 5 to 6 in. long, 1-5 to 2 in, 
wide; petioles slender hairy, -5 in. long. Stipules broad, ovate- 
lanceolate cuspidate, -i in. long. Peduncle ’25 to -5 in. long, hairy.

late, *05 in. long, hairy, lobes 5, lanceolate acute, half as long. 
Corolla-tube *3 in. long, hairy, lobes 4, elliptic blunt imbricate, 
•2 in. long, hairy outside. Stamens 4, glabrous, anthers as long as

8686); Kedah Peak at 2000 ft. altitude (Haniff). 
Vol. ii. p. 122, genus 51, Canthiiim, note :— 
Dr. Robyns points out that the 2 species described in'vol. ii. 
pp. 123 and 124 as (i) Canthium paiicifiorum, King and Gamble, 
and (6) Canthium vehitinum, Ridl., do not belong to the genus 
Canthium, but are nearly allied to Ancylanthus, Desf., and Temno- 
calyx, Robyns, gen. nov. MSS. of Tropical Africa, but are distinct 
from either, and he suggests the name Perakantlms for them, as
