190 DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU, 
axillis summis, interdum pseudo-terminales, singuli vel pauci, 2-23 poll. longi, dense 
patuleque albo- vel cinereo-hirtelli; bractew ovate, 5—4 lin. longze, foliacez ; pedicelli 
nutantes, 4-6 lin. longi. Calycis tubus albo- vel cinereo-hirtellus ; lobi late ovati, 14 
lin. longi, pilosi, minute ciliati. Corolla pallide rosea, glaucescens, glabra, ovato- 
tubulosa, 5 lin. longa ; lobi 5, brevissimi, late ovati, recurvi. Filamenta e basi 
triangulari subulato-attenuata, 3 lin. longa, pilosa; antherze oblong:e, 1 lin. longee, 
appendicibus sequilongis, sparse glandulose pilosulze, postice bispinulose. Stylus 4 
lin. longus, crassus, ad 3 pilosus. Ovarium 5-loculare. Bacca calyce majusculo 
coronata, globosa, 3 lin. dimetiens, alba. 
From 8800 to 9000 feet (Haviland, 1135, 1184, 1148). 
A very remarkable species, which is nearest allied to the Polynesian species Vaccinium 
cereum, Forst. The densely crowded foliage gives it quite a singular appearance, not 
unlike that of certain specimens of Gaultheria oppositifolia, Hook. fil. 
VACCINIUM, sp. near V. Teysmannii, Miq. 
At 8800 feet (Haviland, 1107). 
This is very probably a new species, but the material appears to me insufficient for 
description. The leaves are very coriaceous and not unlike those of V. Teysmannii, but 
they are almost sessile and their nervation is more prominent and of a slightly different 
character; the racemes are stiff and upright, 2-3 in. long, and the young fruits ovoid, 
crowned by short ovate and ciliate calyx-lobes, usually with a few black glands on the 
margin. I haye seen but one deformed flower. 
VACCINIUM MICRANTHERUM, Stapf, n. sp. Arbor humilis, inflorescentiá exceptá glabra. 
Ramuli graciles. Folia subsessilia, ovato-lanceolata, 2-23 poll. longa, 10 lin. lata, 
basi late cuneatim attenuata, apice longiuscule acuminata, tenuiter coriacea, nervis 
lateralibus utrinque 2, rarius 3, fere e basiad vel ultra medium prorsus ductis, superne 
circiter 3 utrinque additis, angulo 30° ortis, reticulato-venosa, nervis venisque leviter 
prominulis. Racemi ex axillis superioribus orti, 2-pollicares, graciles; bracteze cito 
deciduze, e cicatricibus probabiliter minute ; pedicelli 3 lin. longi, recurvi vel patuli, 
plus minusve hirtelli. Calycis tubus breviter cupularis, vix i lin. longus, cinereo- 
hirtellus; lobi late triangulares, ciliatuli. Corolla ovato-tubulosa, 3 lin. longa, ore 
parvo, intus inferne sericeo-pilosula ; lobi minuti, erecti, minute ciliolati.- Filamenta 
3 lin. longa, pilosa ; antheræ breviter lineari-oblongee, 4 lin. longe, appendicibus tubu- 
losis dimidio brevioribus, postice minute bispinulose. ^ Stylus crassiusculus, ad 
medium hirtellus, 23 lin. longus. Ovarium vertice hirtello. 
At 3500 feet (Haviland, 1296). 
Allied to Y. Hasseltii, Miq., but differing considerably in the small anthers and the 
short filaments, and also in the hairy calyx and the much thinner leaves.
