130 MISS L. S. GIBBS ON THE FLORA AND PLANT FORMATIONS 
The leaves of this plant are rather striking, being dark brown and finely 
reticulate on the upper side, while as to the under, they may be described as 
waxy glaucous, showing a perfectly smooth surface ; the largest leaf is 
9 em. long and 3*6 em. broad, with a petiole 1 em. long. The $ flowers are 
2—4 in involucrate clusters, the number of bracts to the involucre being 6. 
The pedicels of the d flowers are 3 mm. long and densely villous, the 
perianth-tube very short, with segments 5 mm. long ; there are 9 stamens, 
with hairy filaments 5 mm. long, and 2 basal glands 1 mm. long. The 
Howers show an aborted densely villous ovary 3 mm. long. 
This species is nearest to A. borneensis, Meissn., collected in Labuan by 
Motley, but it differs in the shape of the leaves, which are not so long 
attenuated at the base and apex, in the markedly distinct areolation on the 
upper surface of the leaf, which might almost be described as pitted, and in 
the larger flowers. 
This plant is named after Dr. Foxworthy, of the Manila Bureau of 
Science, who ascended Kinabalu in March 1910, and who very kindly placed 
the excellent photographs he then obtained at my disposal.
