DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU, 137 
partly glabrous fruit-bristles, as they are described to be in Triumfetta graveolens ; 
thus at least I understand the term “ nudis ” in Blume's diagnosis. 
ELAOCARPUS SERICEUS, Stapf, n. sp. ($ Acronodia.) Frutex. Rami glabri, juniores 
superne densissime foliati, vetustiores cortice obscure cinereo. Folia obovato- 
lanceolata, cuneatim in petiolum 2-3 lin. longum attenuata, 1-13 poll. longa, 3 poll. 
lata, obtusa, obtuse crenata, setis deciduis crenis impositis, coriacea, supra primo 
adpresse albo-sericea, demum plus minusve glabrata, subtus tenuissime denseque 
subaureo-sericea, indumento tandem albescente, nervis lateralibus utrinque 6-8 subtus 
tantum distinctis, reticulatione tenui prominulà. Stipule subulato-lanceolate, 2-3 
lin. longe. Racemi 1-13 poll. longi, pauciflori; rhachis subaureo-sericea; pedicelli 
2 lin. longi; bracteze subulate. Sepala 4 ovata, acuta, sericeo-velutina, 2 lin. longa. 
Petala 4 oblonga, basi paulo constricta, apice dentibus 7-8 breviter linearibus. 
Stamina 8, effeta (?) ; filamenta pilosa; anthere vix 1 lin. longe, unilateraliter in 
mucronem brevem pubescentem products. Ovarium ovoideo-globosum, 2-loculare, 
dense rubro-fulvo-sericeum ; stylus brevis; ovula 4 in utroque loculo, biseriata. 
At 8800 feet (Haviland, 1111). 
Allied to E. punctatus, King, but very distinct in the stunted habit and the fine silky 
tomentum. 
GERANIACEA. 
IMPATIENS PLATYPETALA, Lindl. Bot. Reg. 1846, t. 68.—Syn. J. latifolia, Mig. Ill. 
Fl. Arch. Ind. 93, non L. 
At 5000 feet (Haviland, 1235). (This is also the Impatiens mentioned by Burbidge 
in * The Land of the Sun,’ p. 286, as a sketch drawn by Mr. Burbidge on the spot shows.) 
Distribution : From Java to Borneo, and probably to New Guinea. 
With this species is very probably identical 7. borneensis, Miq. Ill. Fl. Arch. Ind. 
96, described from specimens collected by Korthals in South-east Borneo. I have not 
seen the type, but a specimen gathered by Motley in the district of Banjermassin 
agrees perfectly with the description, and at the same time with the specimens, of 
I. platypetala from Java. I suspect also that 7. celebica, Miq. Ill. Fl. Arch. Ind. 94, is 
a mere synonym of T. platypetala. Miquel does not anywhere mention J. platypetala, 
Lindl., but there is no doubt that he means the same plant by his 1. latifolia. This, 
however, is, in my opinion, sufficiently distinct from the true Linnean plant, which is 
found in Ceylon and the southern part of the Western Peninsula. 
RUTACEA. 
EvopIA TENUISTYLA, Stapf, n. sp. Frutex scandens. Ramuli minute puberuli, glabres-

canaliculato suffulta; foliola insequalia, petiolulis 2 lin. longis suffulta, terminale 
majus, oblongum, circiter 6 poll. longum, 2-23 poll. latum, basi acutum, anguste
