DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU, 193 
whilst the fruits agree perfectly. For these reasons I am rather inclined to regard the 
plant enumerated as a small leafy form of the variable Diplycosia heterophylla; but I 
must add that it differs from all specimens of D. heterophylla which I have seen in the very 
slender branches, the long acuminate leaves, and the solitary or sometimes paired flowers. 
DIPLYCOSIA PUNCTULATA, Stapf, n. sp. Frutex, inflorescentiá exceptá glaber. Ramuli 
crassi, pallide badii, minute nigro-glanduloso-punctati. Folia petiolo crasso 4-6 lin, 
longo suffulta, elliptica, 23-3 poll. longa, 11-12 poll. lata, basi breviter attenuata, 
apice acuta vel subaeuminata, margine acuto subrecurvo, valde coriacea, utrinque 
glandulis nigris punctata, nervis plerunque utrinque angulo 70° ortis, infra mar- 
ginem areuatim collectis, supra impressis, infra prominulis, venis paucis. Flores 
4-6, in fasciculis axillaribus et extra-axillaribus ; pedicelli basi bracteá parva suffulti, 
hirtelli, ad 2 lin. longi, apice bibracteolati ; bracteolz hirtellee, late ovate. Calyx 
2 lin. longus, glaber, nigricans, ad medium vel ultra 5-lobatus; lobi ovati, minute 
glanduloso-ciliolati. ^ Corolla in alabastro angulato-ovata. Filamenta glabra; 
anthers lineari-oblongze, minute asperule, appendicibus multo brevioribus longitu- 
dinaliter fere ad basin apertis. Ovarium disco cinctum, globosum, 5-lobatum, ut 
stylus glabrum. 
At 7000 feet (Haviland, 1202). 
Also allied to D. heterophylla, Blume, and D. scabrida, Becc., but characterized by the 
longer petioles, the more numerous lateral nerves, and the copious glands, particularly of 
the young branches. 
DIPLYCOSIA PENDULIFLORA, Stapf, n. sp. (Pl. XIV. c. 7.) Frutex glaberrimus. Rami 
graciles, pallidi. Folia petiolo crasso, supra sulcato, 3 lin. longo suffulta, elliptica 
vel ovato-elliptica, 6-7 poll. longa, 21-4 poll. lata, basi rotundata vel subcordata, 
abrupte acuminata, coriacea, infra nigro-punctata, nervis lateralibus utrinque circa 
4-5 supra impressis, infra prominulis, in nervum a margine remotum collectis, venis 
paucis tenuibus. Flores solitarii vel gemini, e ramulis orti, penduli ; pedicelli bracteis 
minutis suffulti, 1 poll. longi, filiformes, apice bibracteolati; bracteole ovate, basi 
connatee, 1-2 lin. longs. Calycis fructus semimaturi tubus piriformis, carnosulus, 
21 lin. longus; limbus 5-partitus; lobi ovati, minute glanduloso-ciliati. Capsula 
vertice glabra; stylus 13 lin. longus. 
On Kinitaki River, alt. 5000 feet (Haviland, 1269). 
Though the material is incomplete, I do not hesitate to describe this very remarkable 
species, the affinity of which lies evidently with D. heterophylla, Bl. It is strongly 
marked by the large leaves and the slender and long pedicels. 
DIPLYCOSIA KINABALUENSIS, Stapf, n. sp. (Pl. XIV. B. 4-6.) Frutex prostratus, paucos 
pollices altus. Rami crassiusculi, glabri, teretes. Folia petiolo crasso, 2-3 lin. longo, 
suffulta, elliptica vel obovata vel oblonga, 21-23 poll. longa, 11-15 poll. lata, basi acuta, 
apice rotundato—obtusa, margine arguto subrecurvo, setoso-ciliata vel demum gla- 
brata, coriacea, opaca, 5- vel rarius 7-plinervia, nervis infimis 2 fere ad apicem ductis,
