JOURNAL

OF THE

ASIATIC SOCIETY OF

BENGAL.

VOL. LXXIV., PART II.-Extra Number, 1908.

Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula.-By SIR GEORGE
KING, K.C.I.E., LL.D., F.R.S., late Superintendent of the Royal
Botanic Garden, Calcutta, and J. SYKES GAMBLE, C.I.E., F.R.S.,
late of the Indian Forest Department.

No. 21.

THIS Part contains two Families, No. 86 Gesneracea and No. 90 Verbenacea, and completes the account of the Gamopetala. The account of the Gesneracea was prepared by Mr. H. N. Ridley, F.R.S., Director of the Botanic Garden at Singapore, and was published in the 'Journal of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society for 1905.' The material used by him was that of the Herbaria of Singapore and Penang, together with that belonging to the Royal Botanic Garden of Calcutta, and chiefly got together by collectors employed by Sir George King, lent to Mr. Ridley for the purpose. The account in the 'Straits Journal' not being quite in the form used in the 'Materials,' published under the auspices of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, has been edited by Mr. Gamble, with the kind help of Lt.-Col. Prain, of Kew, but he has been careful to make no more formal alterations than could be helped; so that the work is one for which Mr. Ridley alone is responsible. Only numbers personally verified or quoted by Mr. Ridley have been entered under the different species. Mr. Ridley, who has sanctioned what has been done, has himself furnished a few notes and additions, among them being descriptions of 3 new species, one of them the representative of a new genus. The number of species of Gesneracea herein described is 131, belonging to 20 genera, 1 genus and 2 species being new, besides. 1 Sumatran species newly described.
