84 MISS L. 8. GIBBS ON THE FLORA AND PLANT FORMATIONS 
Hab. Tenom, hills above, 1300’, in the undergrowth in high forest. d 
and Fr. Jan. 2892. 
In this plant the radical leaves are tufted, one leaf showing the petiole 
6 mm. long, with the blade 8:3 em. across and 5'5 em. high; the texture is 
firm, and the upper surface very conspicuously pitted. The stipules are 
2 em. long, the subulate point half the length. The peduncle is 11 cm. long, 
fuscous at the base and glabrous towards the apex, where it dichotomises 
once, each branch showing a capsule and d flowers. The bracts of the 
d flower are entire and pink in colour, the sepals 6 mm. across and 7 mm. 
long, the petals, with wrinkled margins, 4 mm. and 5 mm. long respectively. 
The filaments of the stamens are free, only joined at the base, 1 mm. long, 
with anthers 2:2 mm. long. The capsules are green in colour, therefore 
possibly not mature, with three very obtuse lobes, the median lobe about 
11 mm. long, nearly twice as long as the lateral lobes, which are 5 mm. 
across. 
This species is very near B. mollis, A. DC., in its vegetative parts, but 
differs in the leaves being firmer and showing larger pits, with the tertiary 
veins not in evidence, in the entire, non gland-ciliate, bracts of the ¢ flowers, 
and in the texture and shape of the capsule with its obtuse, unequal lobes. 
This plant has been named in honour of His Excellency H. P. Gueritz, to 
whom I was indebted for much hospitality and kindness during my stay in 
British North Borneo.
