112 MISS L. S. GIBBS ON THE FLORA AND PLANT FORMATIONS 
GENTIANACE.E. 
JOTYLANTHERA TENUIS, Blume, Bijdr. 108. 
Hills above Tenom, 2000', saprophyte in high forest. Fl. Jan. 2906. 
Distrib. Java. 
Flowers light blue, growing amongst leaves at the base of a tree trunk. 
Dr. A. B. Rendle, to whom I am indebted for this determination, adds :— 
“This interesting little saprophyte has hitherto been known as a native of 
Java, and a full account of it is given by W. Figdor (in Annal. Jard. 
Buitenzorg, xiv. 213). “The Bornean specimens show less tendency to 
branch and have somewhat larger flowers than those from Java, the calyx 
reaching 5 mm. and the corolla 10 mm. in length." 
Exacum rETRAGONUM, Ztowb. Hort. Beng. 10. 
Kaningau plain, near Station, 1000', in open “Lalang” marsh. Fl. 
(bright blue). Fr. 2942. Fl. (white), Fr. Jan. 2943. 
Distrib. Borneo (D. Borneo). Malay Peninsula, Java, Sumatra, Celebes, 
Philippines, and New Guinea ; Indo-China, India. 
GENTIANA LYCOPODIOIDES, Stapf in Trans. Linn. Soc. ser. 2. Bot. iv. 
(1894) 208. 
Kinabalu, granite core, 12,000-13,000', cracks in granite. Fl. Feb. 4281, 
4210. Between Kamburangau and Pakapaka, 8000-9500', in the serpentine 
ridge association, on open rocks. Fl. Feb. 3129. 
Distrib. Borneo (B. N. B. Kinabalu, 11,000', Whitehead ; 11,000’, 
Haviland). 
A charming little spreading plant, with very dark green foliage and white 
flowers, more or less erect, growing in open sunny places and sending out 
long creeping branches where shaded; quite abundant. It seems to be 
chiefly distinguished from G. quadrifuria, Blume, the high mountain species 
of Java, by the absence of the larger radical leaves.
