86 MISS L. 8. GIBBS ON THE FLORA AND PLANT FORMATIONS 
show similar shape and venation ; I found it growing in damp places from 
7000’. A plant of Low’s, approximating in size and strength of stolons, is 
marked 7000-11,000’, and that specimen is the one figured by Stapf 
(Ic. Pl. t. 2308). 
Var. RUPICOLA 1s the typieal form of the granite core, where it was first. 
collected by Haviland. Stapf, relying on Haviland's locality (summit). 
considers this as a stunted form, to be put down to the conditions of 
such an exposed habitat. In my specimens the only difference is in the 
length of the peduncle, which barely rises above the leaves in the extreme 
summit plants, whereas in those from 7000’ (No. 4221) it is as long again. 
The glabrous habit is therefore more likely due to damp conditions, as | 
noted the plant on clay soil or where water had accumulated. The typical 
tufted hairy 8. f. hirsutus (f. minor) has been collected on Mt. Halco, 
Mindoro, by Merrill. 
ARALIACE A. 
*ARALIA FEROX, Mig. Fl. Ind. Bat. i. pt. 1. 150. 
Between Koung and Kabayo, 1000’, in sec. forest. Fl. Fr. (young), Feb. 
4294. 
Distrib. Java. Malay Peninsula. 
Shrub, about 6°5 m. high; the huge pinnate and armed leaves are 
aggregated towards the ends of the branches, the uppermost of which bear 
in their axils handsome spreading panicles 0°75 m. long, with white flowers 
and an armed rhachis.

Kinabalu, Gurulau spur, 5500’, in high forest. Buds. Fr. (young), Feb.

Distrib, (of species). Java. 
A tree, with white flowers and fruit, but both being immature, this 
determination is necessarily uncertain.
