DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU, 189 
ERICACEAZ, 
VACCINIUM CORIACEUM, Hook. fil., in Hook. Ic. Pl. t, 892, 
At 9000 feet (Low; Haviland, 1132). 
According to Dr. Haviland, the calyx and corolla are pink, 
V ACCINIUM BUXIFOLIUM, Hook. fil, in Hook. Ic. Pl. t. 891. 
From 7500 to 11,800 feet (Low ; Haviland, 1083, 1084). 
The corolla is not always distinctly ventricose, but often tubular, as in V. coriaceum ; 
it is, however, larger than in that species (to 3lin.). The anthers are spurred or spurless, 
and the style is slightly hairy at the base. 
VACCINIUM, sp. near Y. varingiefolium, Miq. 
A bush or small tree, at the Penokok, alt. 3000 feet (Haviland, 1324). 
This is probably different from V. varingiefolium, but the material is too incomplete 
for description. 
VACCINIUM PACHYDERMUM, Stapf, n. sp. Frutex erectus, inflorescentiá et gemmis exceptis 
glaber. Rami crassiusculi. Folia superne congesta, petiolo crasso 1-3 lin. longo 
suffulta, obovata vel rotundato-obovata, 2-4 poll. longa, 1-2 poll. lata, basi subabrupte 
vel longiuscule in petiolum attenuata, apice late rotundata, crasse coriacea, subtus 
glandulose-punctata, margine acuto subrecurvo, nervis lateralibus utrinque circiter 
5, angulo 30° ortis, laxe reticulatim venosa, nervis venisque prominulis. Racemi 
axillares, 13 poll. longi, cinereo-hirtelli; bractex oblonge vel obovato-oblonge, 3 lin. 
longe, mox deciduse, minute hirtelle, deinde glabrate, ciliate; pedicelli curvati, 
demum 4-6 lin. longi. Calycis tubus ovoideo-hemispheericus, 1-14 lin. longus, 
hirtellus, dentibus 5 rotundato-ovatis vel ovatis, 1-2 lin. longis, ciliatis. Corolla 
(ex alabastris tantum nota) subglabra. Filamenta pilosa ; anthere oblong:e, appendi- 
cibus tubulosis, dorso minute 2-spinulose. Stylus crassiusculus, basi hirtellus. 
Bacca (submatura) globosa, 3 lin. dimetiens, vertice inter calycis dentes persistentes 
valde convexo, protruso, hirtello. 
In barren and stony open places, alt. 10,500 feet; Maripari Spur, alt. 5500 feet, in 
flower only. (Haviland, 1140, 1264.) 
Allied to V. arbutoides, Clarke, from the Patkoi Range in North Burma, and in a 
minor degree to Y. Teysmannii, Miq., from Java, but distinct by the few nerved obovate 
leaves, and also from Y. arbutoides by the short broad calyx-teeth and from V. Teysmannii 
by the indumentum. 
VACCINIUM CORDIFOLIUM, Stapf, n. sp. (Pl. XV.p.7-11.) Frutex. Rami dense patuleque 
albo- vel cinereo-pilosi. Folia valde approximata, internodia $-$ poll. longa multo 
superantia ideoque laxe imbricata, subsessilia vel petiolo crasso 1-13 lin. longo piloso 
suffulta, e basi auriculato-cordata ovata, 3-12 poll. longa, 3-1} poll. lata, acuta vel 
obtusiuscula, coriacea, primo utrinque albo-pilosa, mox glabrata, supra lucida, nervis 
lateralibus 4-5, eum venulis laxe retieulantibus utrinque prominulis. Racemi ex
