xi, c, 2 Merrill: Notes on the Flora of Borneo 51 



folia Merr., Erythrophloeum densiflorum Merr., and Omphalea 

 malayana Merr., reported in this paper, Gardenia merrillii Elm.. 

 Artocarpus superba Becc, Clemensia, the recently collected Bor- 

 nean plant perhaps representing a distinct species, and a few 

 others. Of special interest is the recent discovery on Mount 

 Kinabalu, by Mrs. Clemens, of the very peculiar Blechnum (Lo- 

 maria) fraseri Luerss., previously known only from the higher 

 mountains of the Philippines and from New Zealand. 



As was to be expected, a study of the Bornean collections has 

 materially increased our knowledge of cases of special distribu- 

 tion between the Philippines and Borneo, yet a preliminary exam- 

 ination of all the material so far received from Borneo does not 

 indicate that the floristic relationships between Borneo and the 

 Philippines are any where nearly as marked as between the Phil- 

 ippines and the Moluccas. It seems to be very probable, more- 

 over, that on the whole the flora of the Moluccas is about as little 

 known as is that of Borneo. 



In the present paper one new genus, Moultonianthus, and 

 forty-eight new species, in the families Cyperaceae, Euphor- 

 biaceae, Flacourtiaceae, and Leguminosae, are described. A 

 number of other species are definitely recorded from Borneo for 

 the first time, while the genera Sphaerocanjum, Omphalea, Tri- 

 gonopleura, Erythrophloeum, Pahudia, and Osmelia are new to 

 the island. In the course of the study I have been able to reduce 

 the Philippine genus described by me a few years ago as Alcinae- 

 anthus to the Malayan genus Scortechinia of Hooker f.

Dinochloa ciliata Kurz was based on Cuming 6S7 from Laguna Province, 

 Luzon, although the specimen is not cited by Kurz, or by Camus. Munro * 

 referred it to Dinochloa tjankorreh Biise, as representing the typical 

 form of that species. Kurz* merely mentions it in a note following his
