King mentions a fruiting plant from Blanda Mabok (Wray) with lanceo¬ 
late leaves as doubtful, but the upper leaves are often lanceolate, and he is 
probably correct in his identification. The leaves in some forms are very 
thick, with a recurved edge, and in Maingay’s specimen the corolla appears 
to be pubescent, but it is generally glabrous. 
(24) H. plicata King and Gamble, l.c. 578. 
Rather stout climber. Leaves fleshy coriaceous ovate-lanceo¬ 
late acuminate, base acute; nerves and midrib invisible; *3 in. 
long, 1 in. wide; petioles stout, *25 in. long. Peduncles *75 to 
1 in. long; pedicels flattened, 1 in. long. Corolla *4 in. broad with 
an elevated 5-angled villous ridge in the tube, puberulous outside 
and in, lobes triangular. Corona attached to back of anthers, 
lower lobe ovate blunt or bifid at tip. Hab. Perak, Maxwell s 
Hill (Scortechini). Very rare. 
I have not seen this species. 
(25) H. rufo-lanata Ridl. 
Stem *2 in. through, with petioles, back of leaves and fruits 
densely thick red-woolly. Leaves ovate acute, base round; nerves 
5 or 6 pairs sunk above, glabrous above coriaceous; 4-5 to 4*75 in. 
long, 3 in. wide; petioles thick, 1 to 1-25 in. long. Flowers unknown. 
Capsule lanceolate blunt, rather abruptly narrowed from a broad 
base, 4-5 in. long, 2 in. wide at base. Plume of seed white copious, 
1 in. long. Hab. Perak, Sungei Siput (Burkill). 
I know nothing at all like this; the very dense red brown wool on the 
stem and back of leaves is unlike anything I know. Unfortunately, no 
flowers or seed have been procured. It seems to be nearest to H. coronaria.

Herbs or under-shrubs epiphytic twiners climbing and rooting 
on trees. Leaves fleshy sometimes converted into pitchers or 
convex and sessile. Flowers very small, white or red. Racemes 
short, thick gradually lengthening as the flowers fall, dense with 
tubercles and small bracts usually peduncled. Calyx small lobes 
oblong-ovate. Corolla urceolate tubular or campanulate, lobes 
very short, thick; mouth usually villous. Corona-processes 
adnate to back of stamen column, anchor-shaped or hastate rarely 
entire, or replaced by a corona attached to the corolla-tube; 
annular lobed or toothed above. Staminal column short, filaments 
connate; anthers erect with membranous processes. Pollinia 1 
in a cell, waxy attached by a long or short caudicle to an oblong 
carrier. Carpels free. Follicles 1 to 2, acuminate. Seed very 
small, plumed. Species 50 or more. Disirib. Indo-Malaya to 
Australia.
