154 DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 
Distribution: Throughout Malaya; on the continent to Moulmein and to South-east 
China. 
MELASTOMA BECCARIANUM, Cogn. in DC. Monogr. vil. 356. 
At Kiau, on the Tampassuk River, alt. 3500 feet (Haviland, 1277). 
Distribution: North Borneo. 
I have not seen the type, but Dr. Haviland’s specimens, as well as some collected by 
Lobb near Bruni, Sarawak, belong evidently to this species. The shape of the leaves is 
very uniform, but they are sometimes almost smooth, and sometimes very rough from 
short and stiff bristles. The indumentum of the calyx consists of numerous thick 
processes with long fulvous hairs, which are more or less interwoven and form thus a 
thick coat. 
BLAsTUS COGNIAUXII, Stapf, in Hook. Ic. Pl. t. 2311.—Syn. Ochthocharis parviflora, 
Cogn. in DC. Monogr. vii. 481. 
Penokok, from 4000 to 6000 feet (Haviland, 1280). 
Distribution: North Borneo. 
The same plant was collected by Dr. Haviland on Mount Matang, at Selabut, and at 
Sepudang, Sarawak. It is a true Blastus.

. Penokok, alt. 3500 feet ( Haviland, 1281). 
Distribution: North Borneo. 
This plant was collected by Dr. Haviland in Sarawak. It is closely allied to 4. Beccarii, 
Cogn., but it differs in its broader leaves and somewhat larger flowers, with a more slender 
. calyx. Theanthers are in neither species spurred at the back, as is the case in 4. hirsuta, 
Korth., 4. Helferi, Hook. fiL, and in A. Griffithii, Hook. fil. In A. Beccarii also the 
anthers are not quite equal, and are partly purple, partly yellow ; but I doubt whether the
