DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 157 
papilliformibus aspersa, 7plo-nervia, duobus nervorum paribus infimis sub ipsá basi 
oppositis, nervis tertii paris altioribus et plerumque alternis, venis angulo 50? ortis 
valde prorsus ductis, nervis venisque purpurascentibus. Cymulæ circinoides, sub 
anthesi subumbellatim contract:ze, terminales, interdum in ramulo valde abbreviato 
ideoque specie axillares; pedunculus gracilis 1-2 poll. longus, purpurascens, indu- 
mento caulis consimili sed parciore vestitus; pedicelli 1-2 lin. longi, superne 
incrassati. Calyx obconicus, 2-21 lin. longus, dentibus late triangularibus, brevibus, 
minutissime puberulus et parce glanduloso-setulosus. Petala rosea, oblonga, 4 lin. 
longa, acuta. Stamina 3; anthere e basi ovata bilobá acuminato-rostrate, 3-3) lin. 
longe. 
In young jungle, at 3200 feet (Haviland, 1282). 
Nearest allied to $. picta, Griff., from which it chiefly differs in the shape and the 
nervation of the leaves. On one of the leaves there are a few small white patches along 
the midrib, indicating the tendency to becoming variegated, which is the rule in S. picta, 
Griff. 
SONERILA PULCHELLA, Stapf, n. sp. Herba monocarpica, subsimplex, ascendens, 3-4 
poll. alta. Caulis subteres, dense minuteque furfuraceo-puberulus, preeterea setulis 
glanduligeris parce obsitus, rufescens. Folia subsequalia, petiolo 1-2 poll. longo 
suffulta, ovata, 1-2 poll. longa, 1—1 poll. lata, basi rotundata vel acuta, apice obtusa, 
minute setuloso-serrulata, tenuia, utrinque minutissime verruculosa, supra viridia, 
secundum nervos albo-variegata, costulá parce furfuraceo-puberulá exceptá glabra, 
subtus in nervis venulisque necnon in parenchymate furfuraceo-puberula, 5-7plo- 
nervia, venis plerumque inconspicuis. Cymule circinoides, sub anthesi umbellatim 
congeste, terminales; pedunculus 3 poll. longus; pedicelli 2-3 lin. longi, demum 
incrassati. Calyx anguste obconicus, 23 lin. longus, indumento caulis consimili 
vestitus, dentibus brevibus, late triangularibus, acutis. Petala rosea, obovato- 
oblonga, 31 lin. longa, acuta. Stamina 3; anthersz e basi ovata biloba rostrato- 
acuminate (?). Capsula obpyramidata, trigona, 3 lin. longa, levis, puberula vel 
glabrata. 
At 6000 feet (Haviland, 1200). 
This species is still more closely allied to S. picta, Griff., from which it differs solely 
in the shape of the leaves. I have seen only a single anther, and this was broken in the 
middle. The basal portion, however, was exactly of the same shape as in $. picta. 
SONERILA MACULATA, Roxb. Fl. Ind. i. [1820] 180. 
, Var. GLABRATA, Stapf, var. n. Folia subglabra, minute denticulata, non ciliata. 
On the Tawaran River, alt. 2500 feet (Haviland, 1284). 
Distribution (of species): From Nepal and the Khasia Hills to Upper Assam ; Borneo. 
Dr. Haviland's specimens, which are mere dwarfs, agree perfectly with S. maculata, 
Roxb., except in the characters mentioned above. 
As the numerous specimens of Roxburgh's S. maculata which I have seen show a 
great uniformity in the ciliate denticulation of their leaves, I thought it expedient to 
distinguish the Bornean form as a variety, though on otherwise trifling characters.
