DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 139 
from Kinabalu. The leaves of Maingay’s, Hullet’s, and Curtis’s specimens are generally 
glabrous; but in one of Maingay's plants occur a few scattered hairs on the nerves 
underneath, exactly like those which compose the denser tomentum in the Kinabalu form. 
OLACINE. 
GOMPHANDRA LYSIPETALA, Stapf, n. sp. Ramuli novelli adpressissime minuteque 
puberuli, demum glabrati. Folia petiolo supra tenuissime canaliculato 31—4 lin. 
longo suffulta, oblongo-lanceolata, 23-3 poll. longa, $-1 poll. lata, basi acuta, 
obtusiuscule subacuminata, coriacea, supra glaberrima, opaca, subtus in gemma 
dense et minute fulvo-puberula, mox glabrata, nervis lateralibus tenuibus utrinque 
3-4. Cyme axillares pedunculo petiolum eequante suffultee, 5-15-floree, minutissime 
puberulze vel glabrescentes; flores subsessiles, congesti. Calyx breviter cupularis, 
vix i lin. longus, brevissime dentatus, puberulus. Petala valvata, primo coherentia, 
demum plane soluta, patentia, oblonga, 17 lin. longa, glaberrima. Filamenta clavata, 
antice tantum sub antheris breviter denseque pilis claviculatis obsita, ceterum 
glaberrima. Anthere sub apice aflixwe, pendule ; loculi paralleli vel subparalleli. 
Ovarium rudimentarium leviter asymmetricum, apice parce puberulum. 
At 6000 feet (Haviland, 1207). 
Distinguished by tbe petals, which finally become quite free and spreading, and by 
the peculiar arrangement of the hairs on the filaments. Otherwise there is little difference 
if compared with narrow-leaved forms of G. axillaris, Wall, G. coriacea, Wight, or 
G. polymorpha, Wight. 
GoMPHANDRA PRASINA (?), Beccari, Males. i. 110. 
On the Kadamaian River, at 4500 feet (Haviland, 1243). 
Distribution: Malaya, from Malacca and Sumatra to Borneo; New Guinea. 
Dr. Haviland’s specimen is a female with fruits. These are very like those of the 
Malacca plant, called G. affinis by M. Masters in Hook. fil. Fl. Brit. Ind. i. 586, but they 
are narrower and more strongly ribbed. The habit of the plant also differs, the Kinabalu 
plant having more slender branches and smaller leaves. G. javanica, Valeton, comes so 
far perhaps nearer, but the shape of the fruit deviates more. The probability, however, is 
that G. javanica and G. prasina (including G. affinis) belong to one very variable species, 
the oldest name of which would seem to be G. prasina, Becc.
