DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU, 181 
very likely that it belongs to the same species as the fruiting branch, but as there are 
some differences in the leaves and in the inflorescence I do not feel quite sure of it. 
The following is a description of it :— 
Folia petiolo 5-6 lin. longo suffulta, inferiora lanceolata, 24-44 poll. longa, 2—11 poll. 
lata, basi acuta, apice subacuminata, nervis lateralibus utrinque 7-11, 4-5 lin. inter 
se distantibus, superiora multo majora, oblonga vel obverse lanceolato-oblonga, 6-8 
poll. longa, 21—2$ poll. lata, basi acuta, apice obtuse acuminata, nervis 15-16, 4-6 lin. 
inter se distantibus, angulo cirea 507-60? ortis, subrectis, sub margine breviter 
arcuatim in nervum collectivum connexis, venis tenuibus transversis laxis, omnia 
glabra, supra obscure olivacea, subtus pallidiora, nitore rubello inconspieu». Stipule 
ovatee, ad $ connatze, obtusissimee, vix 4 lin. longs. Inflorescentia terminalis, panicu- 
lata, minutissime puberula; pedunculus 5 lin. longus; rami oppositi, summi verticil- 
lati, infimi 1 poll. longi; eymule pauciflore subumbellatim disposite ; flores sessiles 
vel pseudopedicellati, alares bracteolis minutissimis 2 instructi. Calyx cupulari- 
turbinatus, 1 lin. longus, glaber; limbus truncatus vel minutissime denticulatus. 
Coroll:e tubus 2 lin. longus, rectus, fauce villosus, villo vix exserto; lobi 4, ovato- 
oblongi, 17 lin. longi, patuli vel reflexi. Stamina 4 exserta; filamenta 1-11 lin. 
aucem superantia; anthere } lin. longe, oblongo-lineares. Stylus inclusus; 
stigmata oblonga (semper ?) cohzerentia faucem vix attingentia. 
This species is certainly allied nearly to P. aurantiaca, but distinctly different in the 
looser inflorescence, and the smaller flowers with much smaller more exserted anthers 
and smaller berries. "The flowers are all sessile, but, as the lateral flowers of the outer- 
most cymes are suppressed, the central flower is borne by the peduncle of the reduced 
cyme and supported by the minute bracts of the dichasium.
