DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 161 
Allied to Medinilla crassinervia, Blume, and M. quintuplinervis, Cogn., but distinguished 
from both by the ternate leaves, and, besides, from the former by the caudate apex of 
the leaves and the smaller flowers and fruits, and from the latter by the distinct 
3-nerved leaves, the 5-merous flowers, and the longer inflorescences. It approaches 
still more to an undescribed species, collected by Forbes in New Guinea (no. 932), 
which has also ternate caudate leaves, but much larger flowers.

At 6000 feet (Haviland, 1225). 
Allied to an undescribed species from New Guinea (Forbes, 305) and to M. rhodo- 
chlena, A. Gray, from the Fiji and Samoan Islands, but distinguished by tri-nerved or 
tripli-nerved leaves, much smaller bracts, and, so far as Forbes's plant is concerned, by a 
different indumentum.
