copious tomentum. 
DROSERACE.E. 
DROSERA SPATHULATA, Labill., Pl. Nov. Holl. i. 79, t. 106, f. i. 
. Maripari Spur, from 5000 to 5500 feet ( Low, Haviland). 
Distribution: South-east China, Borneo, Philippines; East Australia from Queens- 
land to Tasmania; New Zealand. 
I am not able to distinguish the Chinese form which has been described as 
D. Loureiri, Hook. et Arn. (Bot. Beech. Voy. 167, t. 131) from the Australian D. spa- 
thulata, and consider it to be quite the same plant, as Bentham has already suggested 
(Fl. Austral. ii. 459). 
HALORAGINE.. 
HALORAGIS MICRANTHA, R. Brown in Flinders's Voy. ii. 550. 
In clefts on. rocks and open places, in compact tufts, alt. 12,000 feet (Haviland, 1077). 
Distribution: From Australia and New Zealand to Japan, Indo-China, and the Sikkim 
Himalaya. 
MYRTACEZ. 
LEPTOSPERMUM RECURVUM, Hook. fil. in Hook. Ic. Pl. t. 893. 
From 7000 to 13,000 feet, commonest above 11,000 feet (Low; Haviland, 1063), 
A shrub, 4-8 feet high below 11,000 feet, but dwarf, a few inches only in height, at 
the top of the mountain, which appears quite white with it when in blossom. 
LEPTOSPERMUM JAVANICUM, Blume, Bijdr. 1100. 
A small spreading tree, at 7700 feet (Haviland, 1154). 
Distribution: Malaya; Moulmein. 
The specimens from Kinabalu exactly agree with the plant collected by Lobb on 
Mt. Thounggyen in Moulmein. They differ slightly from the Sumatran and Javan plant
