ii6. DiscHiDiA COKDIFOLIA, King & Gamble. The leaves
in this plant, as well as in another quite similar collected by
W. D. Barnes in K'luanj^ Terbang, are lanceolate and hardly
cordate; but I think it is the same as the plant from the
Taiping hills, which I take to be the species intended by the
authors.
117. [DiscHiDiA BENGALENSis, Colcbr. Occurs on the
ridges above Wray's Camp, alt. 3,300 feet. It ranges from
India to the Malay Islands.]
GENTIANACE^.
*ii8. Gentiana MALAYANA, i^tW/. o/>. «Y. p. 316. Common
on stream-banks on the Padang, and in damp spots, also near
Skeat's Camp. The flowers are a pure azure-bhie; I once,
however, found a pure white one on Gunong Ulu Riang.
Endemic.
*ii9. Canscora trinervia, Ridl. op. cit. p. 316. Common
in damp shady places at Wray's Camp 3,000 feet altitude to
the Padang woods 5,600 feet. The flowers are pure white,
two of the petals are smaller than the others and so closely
appressed that at first glance they look like a single one, giving
the flower the appearance of a Sonerila. Endemic.
120. Crawfurdia Blumei, Don.; antea, p. 51. A pretty
twiner with yellowish corolla and beautiful pulpy violet fruit.
In woods on Observation Hill and the Padang.
