Fragments of Malayan Geographic Botany. No. 1. Enumeration of Pahang plants collected by the late A. M. Burn Murdoch [Page 310 - 318]
Fragments of Malayan Geographic Botany. No. 1. Enumeration of Pahang plants collected by the late A. M. Burn Murdoch [Page 310 - 318]
Abstract:
0n a journey of inspection down the Pahang river in June, 1913, the late Mr. A. M. Burn Murdoch, took with him a collector from the Botanic Gardens, Singapore, and obtained the species here enumerated. The collecting began near Temerloh, which is 75 miles in a straight line from the coast, and was continued down the tortuous course of the river to its mouth, whence again northwards, it was carried up the coast to Balok. Nos. 151 - 179 came for Temerloh and its neighbourhood. Nos. 180 - 192 came from places on the first 60 miles of this river's course below Temerloh. Nos. 193 - 200, and 301 -311 came from the neighbourhood of the Chenik river where is a forest reserve. Nos. 312 - 332 were collected below the Chenik river, chiefly about Kwala Pahang. Near Kuantan, Balok and Beserah were collected Nos. 201 - 204 and Nos. 333 - 350. There is a paper by Mr. H. N. Ridley on the flora of this part of the Peninsula in the Transactions of the Linnean Society of London, 2nd. Series, Botany, iii., pp. 267-408, enumerating very many more plants than are here recorded; but nevertheless Mr. Burn Murdoch's bundles add much information towards a knowledge of the distribution of plants in the Peninsula. There is a further brief notice of the flora of the lower part of the Pahang river in the Journal of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, part 25 (1894) pp. 33-37. Mr. Ridley has kindly described the novelties of the collection in the Journal of Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, No.. 68 (1915), pp. 12-14. Here after each name an indication is given of the dispersal which that plant has in the Peninsula: and unfortunately the scantiness of our knowledge of the flora of the Eastern side is made evident in it.

The Treatment to which the Para Rubber Trees of the Botanic Gardens, Singapore, have been Subjected [Page 247 - 295]
The Treatment to which the Para Rubber Trees of the Botanic Gardens, Singapore, have been Subjected [Page 247 - 295]
Abstract:
An attempt is being made in the Botanic Gardens, Singapore, to mark down among the old trees the best that they may serve as parents for improved stock. The work of selection will cover many years, and be in some degree tedious; but there is every reason to expect that it will prove worth all the time that may be absorbed. Hevea brasiliensis, the Para-rubber tree, in Malaya, shows much variability, and therefore a promise that the general average of the trees can be raised; and moreover not only do we observe the variability here with our own eyes; but we have the assurance of Monsieur Labroy and others that in Brazil great variability can be seen. The work in hand commences with the comparison of tree with tree as judged by the amount of latex given. Were our trees all virgin, this comparison would be facilitated ; but they have been subjected to treatment in various ways; and though we do not know as yet, what the effect of tapping is on the life and functions of a rubber-tree, it becomes necessary that in the task before us the past of the selected parents should be known. With this object in view the following record has been compiled from all available sources.

The intended study was never completed; but observations were made on the resistance of the seeds to germination..
