DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 147 
This variety is much nearer to the Ceylon and the Khasia form than to that of the 
Himalaya, which constitutes a well-marked variety if not a species, and corresponds 
with Wallich's P. polyphylla (Cat. n. 1026, not n. 1030). Number 1030 of Wallich's 
herbarium is his P. barbata (=P. polyphylla, var. barbata Lehm. Revis. Potent. 54), and 
is identical with the Ceylon plant which was described as P. Mooniana by Wight. The 
specimen from Kinabalu is chiefly characterized by the numerous larger leaflets and 
the very small interposed ones, and by the long spreading hairs on their margin. 
POTENTILLA PARVULA, Stapf, in Hook. Ic. Pl. t. 2293 ($ Polyphylle, Lehm.). Caulis 
valde abbreviatus, parte epigeeá 1-2 poll. longá, inferne foliorum atque stipulorum 
residuis sericeo-lanatis dense vestitus, superne arcte foliatus, simplex vel bre- 
vissime parceque ramosus, apicem versus ramulos unifloros edens. Ramuli floriferi 
erecti, 1-2-foliati, 1-13 poll. longi, pilis sericeis longis plus minusve patulis vestiti. 
Stipulze petiolo ad 2 adnatee, oblong vel oblanceolate, 4-6 lin. longa, 13-23 lin. late, 
acute, scariosze, extus sericeo-pilossz, intus glabree, in ramulis floriferis minores, plus 
minusve bilobæ vel bifide. Folia pinnatifida, rhachi ad 3-1 poll, vel in speci- 
minibus nanis et in ramulis floriferis tantum ad 1-3 lin. nudá, patule sericeo-pilosá, 
1—4 poll. longa, 4-8 lin. lata; foliola basin versus decrescentia, utrinque 10-12, 
in speciminibus nanis fere imbricata, sessilia vel breviter petiolulata, rotundato-ovata, 
superiora 2-3 lin. longa, 13-23 lin. lata, utrinque 3-1-dentata vel in latere basin 
versus spectante subintegra, denticulis ovatis obtusiusculis (si pauca, semper sub 
ipso apice), rigidiuscula, demum castanea, supra glaberrima, nitida, infra in costulá 
atque in margine pilis longis paucis obsita; in foliis longioribus ssepe foliola pauca 
minuta integra interjecta; folia caulis floriferi consimillima, plerumque valde 
redacta. Involucelli bracteole rotundato-elliptice, 11-12 lin. longs, obtuse, ut 
sepala ovata, acuta, equilonga, parce sericeo-pilose. Petala obovata, 2-23 lin. longa, 
aurea. Stamina 10, dina sub unoquoque petalo. Torus dense sericeo-pilosus. Ovaria 
glabra, breviter oblique oblonga, stylo subbasali, superne leviter incrassato. 
In boggy, sheltered, sunny places, alt. 11,000 feet (Low ; Haviland, 1057). 
P. parvula is nearest allied to P. Mooniana, Wight, and Dr. Haviland suggests that it 
might even be an extreme form of it.
