A handsome treé with fine purple-red flowers, resembling a single camellia. 
It was seen in several localities about Tenom and also in the secondary forest 
clothing the sandstone hills between Kotabelud and Tenggilan, at about 
1000'. Dissections of this plant, the flowers of which were put up in 
formalin, agree in every particular with the excellent figures in Blume’s 
* Flora Jave, Anon. t. 1A & 13a. The two specimens of Creagh’s seem 
identieal with mine and show the minor variation in the shape and pub- 
escenee of the leaves traceable in the Malayan series at Kew and the 
British Museum and in the set of Dr. Pierre’s Cochin China plants at Kew. 
SPHJEROTHALAMUS INSIGNIS, Mook. f. in Trans. Linn. Soe., Dot. xxiii.

Tenom, 900’, foothills, secondary forest. Fl. Jan. 2685. 
Distrib. Borneo (B. N. B: Madai, Creagh ; Sarawak). 
A forest tree, very general about Tenom, flowering from 1 m. in height. 
The flowers are conspicuous, hanging singly or two or three from the axils 
of the leaves, with a brown membranous calyx and erect fleshy orange petals. 
First collected by Lobb and labelled “ Borneo." Hooker founded a new 
genus on this specimen. In the type specimen the leaves are 5'2 dm. in 
length and 1 to 5 dm. in breadth, and the flowers 7°5 em. long. A specimen 
of Beceari’s (2964 Herb. Kew.) shows one leaf more acuminate, and another 
much broader and even longer than the type. In my series the leaves range 
from 1:5 to 2:5 dm. and the flowers from 1:'5 to 5 em. in length. An 
instructive intermediate form between these two series is shown in Creagh’s 
Madai plant (in fruit only) in which the leaves are 3 dm. long. In a flower, 
put up in formalin when collected, dissection showed four ovules in each 
ovary, the latter surmounted by spongy styles attached together by a glutinous 
secretion, points which Hooker could not determine in the material at his 
disposal.
