148 DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU 
truncata. Fructus (haud perfecte maturus) 24 lin. dimetiens, vertice hemispheerico, 
e tubo calycis exserto, leviter 5-sulcato. 
From 11,500 to 13,000 feet (Haviland, 1071). 
So closely allied to Stranvesia glaucescens, Lindl., from the Himalaya and the Khasia 
Hills, that it might be almost considered as a variety.of it. But the corymbs are stouter, 
denser, and less tomentose, and the leaves absolutely entire, with fewer and fainter nerves, 
which are curved more forward than is the case in £S. glaucescens. A specimen of 
S. Davidiana, Decne., from Szechuen (Henry, 8953), comes also extremely near, but the 
lateral nerves are about twice as numerous and straighter.
