OF MT. KINABALU AND BRITISH NORTH BORNEO. 121 
Hab. Hills above Tenom, 1500’, undergrowth in high forest. Fl. Fr. Jan. 
2873, 2902. 
Leaves mostly 3-4°5 em. long and 1:5-2 em. broad, but often smaller, e.g. 
25x13 mm., and occasionally only 13x10 mm., greyish green when dry, 
paler below ; petioles 3-6 mm. long. Cymes only 2-3-flowered, including 
the corollas, at most 15x12 mm., but often shorter, the peduncle when 
present not more than 3 mm. in length. At the base of the inflorescence is 
a pair of floral leaves, linear-oblanceolate in form, about 6 mm. long by 1:5 
mm. in width at the widest part; these like the bracteoles and calyx are 
glandular pilose. Bracteoles 85 mm. long, 8:5 mm. broad. Segments of 
calyx 8:5 mm. in length, narrowed above to about 0*2 mm. Flowers yellow ; 
corolla-tube 8°5 mm. long, nearly 2 mm. wide in the lower half, thence 
suddenly expanding to 3 mm. and having at the throat a width of 5 mm. ; 
upper lip 4 x 4:5 mm., its lobes subdeltoid, obtuse, less than 1 mm. in length; 
lower lip 4:5 x 5 mm., the middle lobe broadly ovate, very obtuse, 3x3 mm., 
the lateral lobes broadly oblong, very obtuse, 9 mm. long and nearly 2 mm. 
broad. Anthers oblong, 1:75 mm. long, the lower cell of the shorter pair 
of stamens only 1°25 mm. long.  Pollen-grains, except for the smooth ellip- 
tical pore-areas, covered with an exceedingly fine meshwork-thickening. 
Ovary 1:75 mm., style 9 mm. long. Capsule with a very short hard point, 
1l mm. long. 
The Staurogyne-like general appearance and the few-flowered cymes seem 
to distinguish this species very easily.

Distrib. Borneo (B. N. B. Sakatan river, Burbidge; Sarawak; D. Borneo). 
Malay Peninsula, Java, Babar, Timor, Philippines, and New Guinea ; Indo- 
China to India. 
A shrub, 1-2:50 m. high, with white flowers veined with mauve. General 
from Tenom to Kaningau, in secondary forest and by ‘“campongs” up to 
1000”. Mr. H. N. Ridley informs me that this plant is supposed to keep off 
ghosts and magic, and is consequently planted by the Malays on graves. He 
has never found it wild or in fruit. Itis cultivated for medicine and remains 
long after traces of former cultivation have disappeared, and then looks as 
if native. It never seems to fruit, and he doubts it being wild in any 
locality visited by him in the Federated Malay States (Trans. Linn. Soc. 
ser. 2. Bot. iii. (1893) 333). 
Miquel cites it as a native medicine (Fl. Ind. Bat. ii. 832). The Malay 
name is “ Ganda Rusa.” 
C. B. Clarke (Hook. f. Fl. Br. Ind. iv. 532) questions it ever occurring wild, 
as it is so rarely found with seeds.
