186 DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 
turbinatus, 13 lin. longus, sparse pilis minutis aspersus; limbus latissime brevis- 
simeque 4-dentatus, ciliolatus. Corolla parce pilosula; tubus latiusculus, 13 lin. 
longus, fauce villosulus ; lobi 4, ovati, 1 lin. longi. Stamina 4, fauci inserta, exserta; 
filamenta nigra, crassiuscula, 3 lin. longa; antherz oblongo-elliptieze, 3 lin. longe. 
Styius longitudine tubi corollini; stigma 3-4-lobum. Ovarium 4-loculare. Bacca 
subglobosa, 4-loba, 21 lin. longa, calycis limbo dentibus plerumque delapsis coronata ; 
pyrene 4, crustaceze, secundum angulum internum excavatze. 
At 8300 feet (Haviland, 1141). 
Nearest allied to Lasianthus venulosus, Wight, but distinct by the rounded or even 
subcordate base of the crowded leaves, shorter inflorescences, and very short calyx-teeth. 
On the other side it is allied also to Z. euneurus, which has very similar fruits. 
NERTERA DEPRESSA, Banks, in Gaertn. Fruct. i. 124, t. 26. 
Creeping in jungle at 10,500 feet (Haviland, 1075). 
Distribution: South and Central America, from the Falkland Islands and Patagonia 
to South Mexico; islands of the South Sea to Tasmania and Victoria; New Zealand ; 
Hawaii; Malayan Archipelago to Sumatra and the Philippines. 
I think the Philippine plant (Cuming, 943), as well as the specimens from Java (Mt. 
Malabar, 7000 feet, Anderson, 193; Horsfield, 779; Merapi, 3700-4000 feet, Junghuhn), 
must be referred to .N. depressa, though they differ at the first glance more or less—but 
not more than do the specimens from New Zealand or those from Tristan d'Acunha.
