Hab. Kinabalu, Gurulau spur, 3500', above Kiau; sec. forest. Fl. Fr. 
Feb. 3991. 
“Slade of leaf generally 6-8 em. long and 1:5-2 em. broad, when dry dull 
olive-green above and brownish below ; lateral nerves about 8 pairs, ascending; 
petioles 2-3 em. long. Axis of inflorescence only about 3-4 mm. long, and 
apparently not lengthening in fruit; the whole raceme about 15 mm. long, 
and about the same in breadth. Bracts 4 mm. long ; pedicels 1-2 mm. long. 
Flowers white. Segments of calyx very pale reddish when dry, 16:5-17:5 mm. 
long, at most 1 mm. broad. Tube of corolla somewhat curved a little above 
the base, 16:5 mm. long, rather more than 1 mm. broad at the bottom, 
expanding to 3 mm. above; posticous lobes of the limb 1:75 x 2 mm., anti- 
cous L'5x F8 mm. Anthers dehiseing by means of a rather long pore 
(anther-cell 1 mm. long, pore 0:5 mm.). Ovary 3:5 mm., style 10 mm. long ; 
shorter arm of the stigma bifid. Capsule 6-7 mm. in length. 
Differs from S. lanceolata, O. Kuntze, in habit, in the short axillary inflores- 
cences, and the almost equal calyx-segments.
