PLANT COLLECTIONS AND FIELD EXCURSIONS 
In April the Director and Mr. Henderson visited Cameron Highlands, 
the former spending a fortnight and the latter nearly a month at Tanah 
Rata. Collections were made in the Tanah Rata and on the neighbouring 
mountains, attention being chiefly directed to trees, of which many 
flowering and fruiting specimens were obtained. Herbaceous plants had 
been largely collected by Mr. Henderson on previous visits. Flowers were 
obtained of a tree of the family Araliace?e of a genus hitherto unknown 
in the Peninsula; this tree is common at the Highlands and had previously 
not been found flowering. Another tree, of the family Hamamelidacse, is 
of a genus not previously known in the Peninsula. A large number of 
orchids were collected, particularly of the small species of Bulbophyllum 
which abound in this area. Cy rubidium' roscum , J. J. S., a Javanese orchid 
found in 1928 on Gunong Tahan, was discovered at the Highlands. Of 
ferns a very careful collection was made, amounting to about 70 rare and 
interesting species. Of these the following were found for the first time 
in the Peninsula: Polyp odium normalc Don, and Dryopteris oppositi - 
pinna v. A. v. R. About six other species, not yet determined, and new to 
the Singapore herbarium, were also collected. Some other species had 
previously only once been found in the Peninsula. 
At Easter the Director accompanied Mr. Fr. Verdoorn of Utrecht on 
a short expedition to Mount Ophir. Mr. Verdoorn made an extensive 
collection of liverworts, of which he has since presented a complete set to 
the Singapore herbarium; various other plants, chiefly ferns, were collected. 
In May and June Mr. Henderson visited the limestone hills of Perak, 
in continuation of his study of the local limestone flora, collecting near 
Ipoh and Batu Gajah, on Gunong Pondok and on the small limestone hills 
near Lenggong. Collection was also made near Grik, particularly in the 
neighbourhood of the Kulim hot springs and on the banks of the Sungei 
Kenering. Several plants were collected at Gunong Pondok which had 
not been found since Kunstler first collected them in the eighties of the 
last century. The flora of the Lenggong limestone had previously been 
little known and further visits at other seasons of the year would be 
profitable. A number of orchids and ferns were broughT to Singapore for 
cultivation. 
In June the senior plant-collector accompanied Dr. F. W. Foxworthy, 
Forest Research Officer, F. M. S; on an expedition to Lower Siam, and 
made good collections. 
In August the same collector accompanied Mr. E. J. Strugnell of the 
Forest Department to Cameron Highlands and down to the Telom Valley. 
The trip was too hurried for large collections to be made, but a number of 
plants of interest were obtained.
