xiii, c, 2 Merrill: New Species of Bornean Plants 89 



rotundatis, glabris, 11 ad 12 mm longis. Ovario glabro; stylis 

 5, infra connatis. 



A tree about 10 m high, the young branchlets and very young 

 leaves (when 5 cm long or less) very densely pubescent-setose, 

 the indumentum brownish, none of the setae more than 1 mm 

 long, slender, weak, more or less spreading, sometimes appressed. 

 Leaves membranaceous, olivaceous, shining, oblong-obovate, 

 about 25 cm long, 9 to 11 cm wide, shortly acuminate, base 

 acute or obtuse and distinctly inequilateral, margins incurved- 

 serrate, both surfaces with widely scattered, short, curved, weak, 

 pale, slender setae 1 mm long or less; lateral nerves about 12 

 on each side of the midrib, prominent, curved, anastomosing. 

 Cymes few-flowered, about 8 cm long, fascicled on tubercles 

 which are scattered along the trunks, the rachis and branches 

 more or less setose or furfuraceous-setose, each cyme bearing 2 

 or 3 flowers, the pedicels slender, the bracts few, lanceolate to 

 oblong-lanceolate, usually acuminate, toothed, shortly setose. 

 Flowers pink, fragrant, about 2.5 cm in diameter. Sepals un- 

 equal, the outer three thicker than the inner ones, orbicular-ovate, 

 about 10 mm long, sparingly short-setose outside, the two inner 

 ones thinner, petaloid, glabrous, obovate, rounded, 11 to 12 mm 

 long. Corolla-lobes deeply and somewhat inequilaterally retuse, 

 about 10 cm long. Ovary glabrous. Styles united for the lower 

 2 mm, the arms 5, about 5 mm long.

This species is especially characterized by its short weak setae; its 

 fascicled, cauline, depauperate-cymose, 8 cm long, few-flowered inflorescences; 

 and its rather large flowers. 



SAURAUIA LONGIPETIOLATA sp. nov. 



Frutex, partibus junior ibus parce adpresse setosis exceptis 

 glaber. Foliis oblongis ad oblongo-ellipticis, coriaceis, usque ad 

 30 cm longis, laevis, supra olivaceo-brunneis, subtus pallide brun- 

 neis, basi perspicue lateque cordatis, longe petiolatis, margine 

 serrulato-dentatis, nervis utrinque circiter 15, perspicuis; flori- 

 bus axillaribus, fasciculatis, tenuiter pedicellatis, calycis parce 

 pubescentibus, laevis; fructibus leviter pubescentibus ; stylis 3, 

 liberis. 



A shrub, glabrous except the younger parts, which are spar- 

 ingly appressed-setose. Leaves oblong to oblong-elliptic, 20 to 

 30 cm long, 9 to 12 cm wide, base broadly and prominently cor- 

 date, margins mostly dentate, sometimes dentate-serrate, smooth, 

 somewhat shining, the upper surface brownish-olivaceous, the 

 lower surface pale-brownish ; lateral nerves about 15 on each side
