PUBLICATIONS 
Three issues of the Gardens Bulletin were published during the year. Vol. 
V, Nos. 9-11 consisted of Mr. Holttum’s paper on Stenochlsena, Lomariopsis 
and Teratophyllum in the Malayan Region (pp. 245-312, and 12 plates). Vol. 
V, No. 12 contained a paper by Mr. Corner on the identification of the Brown- 
root Fungus (pp. 317-350). Volume VI, consisting of papers on plants used 
medicinally in the Malay Peninsula, having already been completed concurrently 
with Vol. V, the next issue to appear was Vol. VII, part 1, containing two 
papers on orchids by Mr. C. E. Carr, the first describing one new genus and 
25 new species, and the second dealing with the genus Taeniophyllum in the 
Malay Peninsula. Twelve new species of this group of minute leafless orchids 
were described, and all fully illustrated. 
In addition to the above, a paper by Mr. Corner on the structure and 
development of Polystictus xanthopus was published in the Annals of Botany , 
and another on Fomes levigatus and allied species in the Transactions of the 
British Mycological Society. 
Towards the close of the year the Director was asked whether he would 
edit the Horticultural section of a proposed quarterly publication of the Malayan 
Agri-horticultural Association. This was arranged, and short articles were 
submitted for the first issue, to appear in January 1933, prepared by the 
Director and Mr. Flippance. It is hoped that this publication will be the means 
of bringing to public notice activities of the Gardens Department which are of 
general interest, and that in it may be published information in popular form 
about plants and their culture; hitherto there has been no publication in which 
articles could be issued.
