184: DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 
longus; stigma bilobum, lobis latis obtusis. Bacca (immatura) subglobosa, 2 lin. 
longa, calycis limbo coronata, minute albo-lineolata. 
At the Penokok, alt. 3500 feet (Haviland, 1294). 
Closely allied to Chasalia rostrata, Miq., but the leaves are thinner and of a different 
shape, and smaller than in any specimen of C. rostrata I have seen. 
LASIANTHUS KINABALUENSIS, Stapf, n. sp. Frutex glaberrimus. Rami graciles, teretes, 
flavido- vel fusco-virides. Folia pedunculo 2-3 lin. longo suffulta, elliptico-oblonga 
vel oblongo-lanceolata, 3-34 poll. longa, 2—14 poll. lata, basi acuta, apice subcaudato- 
acuminata, firmule membranacea, pallide viridia, nervis lateralibus utrinque 5-6, 
valde arcuatis, venis laxissime anastomosantibus, paucis, rectis vel  subrectis. 
Inflorescentize ad receptacula parva nodiformia sessilia redactee, pauciflorze, axillares ; 
pedicelli nulli. Calycis tubus ovoideus vel oblongus, 1 lin. longus; lobi 5-3, 
lineari-oblongi obtusiusculi, equilongi. Corolle tubus tenuis, 1% lin. longus, fauce 
villosulus; lobi 5-3, lineari-oblongi vel oblongi, intus papillosi, tubo sequilongi. 
Stamina 5-3, fauci inserta; antherz subsessiles, oblongse, i lin. iongee. Stylus 
exsertus, 2 lin. longus; stigma bilobum. Ovarium 5-3-loculare; ovula solitaria, 
basalia. Bacca globoso-pyreniformis, calyce coronata, 2 lin. longa; pyrena unica; 
loculi ceeteri abortivi (an semper ?). 
At the Penokok, alt. 3000—3200 feet (Haviland, 1306, 1323). 
Allied to L. lucidus, Bl., which it resembles very much in every respect; but L. kina- 
baluensis differs in the entire absence of all indumentum, in a somewhat different nervation 
—the veins being less straight and more loosely anastomosing,—and in the smaller 
flowers with obtuse calyx-lobes. The leaves are very minutely pellucid-dotted in 
consequence of the very loose spongy mesophyll. 
LASIANTHUS MEMBRANACEUS, Stapf, n. sp. Frutex glaberrimus, Rami teretes, pallide 
olivacei. Folia petiolo 4-7 lin. longo suffulta, oblonga vel elliptico-oblonga, 
5-13 poll. longa, 23-8 poll. lata, basi acuta, abrupte breviterque acuminata, 
membranacea, pallide lurideque viridia, nervis primariis utrinque 5-6 basi plerumque 
patulis, tunc valde prorsus arcuatis, secundariis tenuioribus plerunque 3-4 interjectis, 
cum venis laxissime reticulantibus. ^ Stipule breviter lateque triangulares. 
Inflorescentiz axillares ad receptacula nodiformia redactee; alabastra plura, flores 
perfeeti vero pauci; pedicelli nulli. Calycis tubus obovoideus, 2 lin. longus, 
dentibus 4 triangularibus, tubo dimidio fere minoribus, crassiusculis. Corollze tubus 
13 lin. longus, fauce villosus; lobi lineari-oblongi 4, intus papillosi. Stamina 4; 
antherze subsessiles, lineari-oblong:e, 3 lin. longee, inclusze. Stylus 6 lin. longus, 
exsertus. Ovarium 4-loculare; ovula solitaria, basalia. ^ Bacca 4% lin. longa, 
bipyrena ; pyrenze inzequales, 
| At the Penokok, alt. 3000 feet (Haviland, 1300, 1336). 
. _ Allied to Z. oliganthus, Hook. fil., from Ceylon, but perfectly glabrous, Sr the leaves 
uc more membranaceous, larger, and with a somewhat different venation, They are full of 
minute pelingic dots, as in the preceding species.
