198 DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 
RHODODENDRON CUNEIFOLIUM, Stapf, n. sp. ($ Zragrantes) (Pl. XV. B. 3.) Arbor 
humilis. Ramuli graciles, novelli badii, demum albo-cinerascentes. Folia petiolo 
1 lin. longo suffulta, obovato-cuneata, 6-8 lin. longa, superne 2 lin. lata, basi longe 
cuneatim in petiolum attenuata, apice rotundata, emarginata, margine leviter 
recurvo, impresso-punctata, coriacea, utrinque sparsim lepidota, supra demum 
glabrata, lucida, uninervia, costá supra impress’. Flores terminales solitarii vel 
bini e gemma perulatá, ovoideá, acutá, 2 lin. longá. Perule paucæ, ovate, 
exteriores breviores, sericeo-ciliatulee. ^ Pedicelli filiformes, 2 lin. longi, dense 
lepidott. Calyx breviter 5-lobatus, lepidotus. Corolla rubra, tubulosa, superne 
sensim leviterque dilatata, 5 lin. longa, extus lepidota; lobi 1-1} lin. longi, 
porrecti (an semper ?), ovati, margine suberosuli. Stamina 10; filamenta filiformia, 
glabra, breviter exserta; antherz ovato-globoss, i lin. longe. | Ovarium dense 
lepidotum ; stylus tenuis, glaber, 3 lin. longus. 
At 7000 feet (.Haviland, 1180). 
Allied to R. Vidalii, Rolfe, R. apoanum, Stein, R. rosmarinifolium, Vid. and R. 
quadrasianum, Vid., but distinct by the very narrow cuneate leaves and the rather tubulose 
corolla. Of these I know R. rosmarinifolium only from Vidal’s description; I have 
seen the other three. According to Vidal, R. rosmarinifolium differs by robust 
branches, oblong linear leaves, smaller bell-shaped flowers, and hairy pedicels. Æ. 
apoanum is a native of Mindanao, A. quadrasianum inhabits South and Central Luzon, 
whilst R. Vidalit (=R. verticillatum, Vidal, non Low) and R. rosmarinifolivm were 
found in North Luzon. They all come very closely together. 
RHODODENDRON ERICOIDES, Low, ex Hook. fil. in Hook. Ic. Pl. t, 887. 
From 8000 feet almost to the top, very common at 10,500 feet (Low; Havilana, 
1066) : in sandstone grit and peat (Burbidge). 
From 6 to 10 feet high at the lower limit, dwarfed (6 in.) at the higher elevations. 
CLETHRA CANESCENS, Reinwardt, in Blume, Bijdr. 863. 
In young jungle, Ulu Tawaran, alt. 2000 feet (Haviland, 1367). 
Distribution : Java, Lombok, Celebes, North Borneo (Kulawat, alt. 2000 feet, Lobb !). 
The species is represented by very closely allied forms in South China (C. Faberi, 
Hance) and in Luzon (C. lancifolia, Turez.).
