- In the following contribution nineteen new species of Bornean 
plants are described, while seven previously described forms 
are recorded for the first time from Borneo.~ These notes and 
descriptions were written in 1918 and 1919, but in studying 
the extensive collections made by Maximo Ramos in British 
North Borneo in 1920 and in preparing for publication an ex- 
tensive paper based largely on this collection,’ the fact was 
overlooked that the following notes and descriptions had not 
been published. The only changes made are the addition of 
references to specimens collected since the original manuscript 
was completed. 
In the paper submitted for publication in Singapore over one 
hundred new species are proposed and described, while fifty- 
eight previously described forms are credited to Borneo for the 
first time. These contributions, with others, bring the list of 
known Bornean species of flowering plants up to approximately 
5,250; the number in my enumeration of Bornean plants,” the 
manuscript of which was completed in January, 1918, being 
4,924.
