The birds of the Larut Hills

This document, catalogued as “The Birds of the Larut Hills” by A.L. Butler (JSBRAS Vol. 34, 1900, p. 99), contains a botanical description rather than ornithological content.

Summary

The page as scanned presents a description of a new orchid species, Tapeinocheilus Koordersiana n. sp., from Celebes, allied to Miquel’s T. pungens but distinguished by larger flowers and pubescent bracts (p. 99). The species is named in honour of Dr. Koorders, who made fine plant collections in Celebes. The text also references a garden plant called Zebrinus, noted as having no relationship with the genus Costus (p. 99).

The content on this page does not correspond to the title “The Birds of the Larut Hills” as recorded in the journal’s table of contents, suggesting a possible mis-scanning or pagination error in the digitised volume.
