Hab. Kinabalu, above Lobang rock, 6000’, in high forest. Fl. Feb. 9. 
4115, d. 4112. Flowers green. 
Also from Sarawak (Beccari 1669 ; Matang, Züdley 12279). 
A tree, with glabrous branchlets and leaves, the latter oblong-lanceolate 
and lengthily acuminate, 12 cm, or longer and 3-4 em. broad, with a 
petiole 5- 10 mm. long. Secondary nerves 7 or 8 pairs, the subulate stipules 
reaching 1 cm. in length. Inflorescence about 2 cm. in greatest extent, 
seldom approaching 3 em. Flowers 4-5 mm. long; corolla 3-4 mm. long, 
and the same in greatest diameter. The whole plant blackens in drying—a 
distinctive feature. The nearest affinity appears to be with U. potatorum, 
King, from Mt. Ophir, which differs in the size of the leaves, the shape of 
the stipules, and in the flowers.

Hab. Kinabalu : Lobang, 5000’, in high forest. Fl. Feb. 4106. 
A tree, with white, sweet-scented flowers, distinctive in its almost entire 
glabrousness. The mature leaves measure about 17 em. (including an acumen 
of 2 cm.) in length, and 5 em. in breadth, with petioles 1-2 em. long; lateral 
veins, manifest above, prominent below, in 10-12 pairs. Stipules about 
5 mm.x3 mm. Inflorescence not exceeding 6 cm. ; bracts up to 5 mm. 
long. Pedicels about 5 mm. with 2 or 3 small hooked bracteoles. Calyx- 
limb 1:5 mm. long, ovary 2 mm. Corolla-tube 4 mm. long, lobes 7 mm. x 
3 mm. "Anthers 5 mm. long; style exserted about 6 mm. 
This differs from most of the species in its almost glabrous inflorescence,
