152 DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 
Maripari Spur, alt. 5500 feet (Haviland, 1257). 
Very distinct by the crowded and very coriaceous, mostly broad-elliptic leaves, and the 
robust and short inflorescences. The capsule is of the same size as in Tristania Wightiana, 
Griff., or T. burmanica, Griff. The nearest allied species which I have seen is represented 
by a specimen (still undescribed) collected by Beccari in Sarawak (no. 2224). 
TRISTANIA BILOCULARIS, Stapf, n. sp. Frutex. Ramuli novelli glaberrimi, nigricantes, 
vetustiores cortice pallido vestiti. Folia alterna vel summa subopposita, petiolo 
3-5 lin. longo suffulta, obovato-oblonga, 13-2 poll. longa, ¿-1 poll. lata, cuneatim in 
basin attenuata, obtusa, marginibus revolutis, coriacea, glaberrima, supra subnitida, 
subtus opaca, nervis secundariis utrinque circa 12-15, 13 lin. inter se distantibus, in- 
distinctis, marginalibus sub ipso margine vix visibilibus. Cymee pauciflore, terminales 
vel axillares, pedunculo 2-3 lin. longo. Pedicelli 1 lin. longi, glabri. Calyx depresso- 
turbinatus, 1 lin. longus, dentibus minutis triangularibus, intus minutissime tomen- 
tellus. Capsula elongato-globosa valde exserta, ima tantum basi calycis tubo adnata, 
vix 14 lin. longa, septicidé Bivalvis. Semina 2 i» utroque loculo, pendula, 13 lin. 
longa, elliptica, superne alata. 
At 6600 feet (.Haviland, 1199). 
I have not seen the flowers of this species; yet the scars left by the stamens between 
the calyx-teeth show even in the mature state the three vascular bundles of each staminal 
bundle. The capsules are smaller than in 7. Wightiana, Griff, to which it is’ perhaps 
more nearly allied than to any other species. 
EUGENIA KINABALUENSIS, Stapf, n. sp. ($ Syzygium). (Pl. XI. B. figs. 10-12.) Frutex. 
Ramuli novelli tetragoni, vetustiores teretes, cortice brunneo in lacinias angustas 
longas soluto. Folia superne valde approximata, petiolo vix 1 lin. longo suffulta, 
rotundato-ovata vel orbicularia, 4-6 lin. longa, 3-6 lin. lata, basi rotundata, apice 
valde obtusa vel subemarginata, marginibus revolutis, coriacea, supra opaca, subtus 
sublucida, pallidiora, glaberrima, costá supra impressá, tenui, nervis lateralibus tenuis- 
simis 6-8, supra tantum plus minusve distinctis. Cymsze terminales, pauciflorz, 
breves, vix e foliis exsertze. Calycis (juvenilis) tubus breviter subcylindricus, 11 lin. 
longus; lobi 4 ovati, 17 lin. longi. Petala libera, elliptica vel rotunda, 1 lin. longa. 
: Ovarium 3-loculare; ovula numerosa in quoque loculo. 
At 8800 feet ( Haviland, 1112). | 
"This, like the following species of Eugenia, is not represented in a quite complete state 
in Dr. Haviland’s collection. I should therefore have refrained from describing them 
as new species if they had not been of so characteristic a type that I could not have 
overlooked them in going through the material in the Kew Herbarium and through the 
a descriptions of those comparatively few species of tropical Asia which are not represented 
2 2 in our collections. E. kinabaluensis has quite the habit of E, rotundifolia, Wight, from 
iu ; which it may be distinguished by the very indistinct and looser venation of the leaves, and 
o e longer, more cylindrical calyx. The difference in the venation, however, is only one 
n of. legree, as the lateral nerves in E. kinabaluensis are hardly less numerous ; but they
