DR, O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 191 
superioribus vel summis orti, seepe pseudo-terminales, 1-13 poll. longi; bractew late 
ovate, vix 1 lin. long:e, diu persistentes ; pedicelli cernui, ad medium vel supra bibrac- 
teolati, 3 lin. longi. Calyx fere ad basin 5-partitus; segmenta ovata, ilin. longa. 
Corolla alba, ovato-tubulosa, 3 lin. longa, dentibus porrectis minutis. Filamenta 
l lin. longa, linearia; anthere ovate, 1 lin. longe, asperulz ; loculi poro apicali de- 
hiscentes, uterque appendicibus 2 setaceis, reflexis, patulis ornatus. Ovarium globo- 
sum, 5-lobatum, ut stylus glabrum. Capsula baccata, alba. 
At 12,000 feet (Haviland, 1085). 
Very similar in habit and foliage to Gaultheria antipoda, Forst., but distinet by the 
comparatively long racemes, the bibracteolate pedicels and larger flowers. 
DIPLYCOSIA CHRYSOTHRIX, Stapf. (Pl. XIV. E. 10-14.) Frutex epiphyticus. Rami 
graciles, dense pilis aureo-rufis demum cinerascentibus setoso-hirsuti. Folia petiolo 
$-i lin. longo suffulta, ovata, 8-10 lin. longa, 5-6 lin. lata, basi rotundata, apice 
acuta, coriacea, subtus plerumque leviter concava, supra glaberrima, lucida, subtus 
et imprimis in margine setosa, nervis utrinque 1-2, supra impressis, ssepius indistinctis. 
Flores solitarii vel pauci in folierum axillis; pedicelli densissime setoso-hirsuti, 2-3 lin. 
longi, apice bibraeteolati; bracteolee parvee, cupulatim connate. Calyx fere ad basin 
5-partitus ; segmenta ovata, 3 lin. longa, acuta, extus densissime sericeo-hirsuta, intus 
minute adpresseque pilosula. Corolla rosea, late cupulari-campanulata, 5 lin. longa, 
glabra; lobi late ovati, 1 lin. longi. Filamenta glabra, 14 lin. longa; anthers 
ovate, minute asperule, appendicibus rectis, paulo brevioribus, oblique apertis. 
Ovarium disco angusto cinctum, globosum, 5-lobatum, minute pilosulum ; stylus 
43 lin. longus. Placentze prope loculi basin ortee, multi-ovulate. 
At 6600 feet (Haviland, 1182). 
DIPLYCOSIA RUFA, Stapf, n. sp. (Pl. XIV. p. 8-9.) Frutex epiphyticus. Rami dense 
patuleque rufo-setosi, setis demum cinerascentibus. Folia brevissime petiolata, ovata, 
1-23 poll. longa, 8-14 lin. lata, basi rotundata, acuminata vel acutissima, coriacea, 
supra glaberrima, nitida, infra et imprimis in margine rufo-setosa, nervis lateralibus 
utrinque paucis, basalibus plerumque supra distinctis. Flores axillares, solitarii 
vel pauci, fasciculati, e gemmis perulatis orti; pedicelli densissime setosi, 2-3 lin. 
longi, apice bibracteolati ; bracteolee cupulatim connatee, extus dense setosee. Calyx 
fere ad imam basin partitus; segmenta lanceolata, 3-32 lin. longa, extus densissime 
pilis aureo-rufis sericeo-hirsuta, intus glabra. Corolla angulato-campanulata, 31—4 
lin. longa, ad 2 5-lobata ; tubus inferne et in commissuris glaber; Jodi ovati, acumi- 
nati, extus rufo-hirsuti. Stamina ssepe post corollam delapsam persistentia ; filamenta 
14 lin. longa, glabra; antherze ovatze, 1 lin. longze, minutissime asperulee, appendici- 
bus rectis equilongis, apice poro oblique apertis. Ovarium disco lobulato cinctum, 
globosum, 5-lobatum, hirtellum ; stylus 2 lin. longus. 
From 7500 to 8000 feet (Haviland, 1137, 1181). | 
This and the preceding species are allied to D. pilosa, Blume, but very distinct in the 
dense and long shining indumentum of the bracts, pedicels, and calyces, and the coarser
