200 DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 
Corolla 14 lin. longa; tubus brevissimus; segmenta oblonga obtusa, demum reflexa, 
in margine intusque papillosa. Antherze sessiles, basi corolle segmentis adnate, 
3 lin. longe. Ovarium ovoideum, apice annulatum ; stylus 3 lin. longus, irregu- 
lariter lobulatus. Fructus globosus, apéculatus, pallidus, 2 lin. dimetiens; stylus 
diu persistens. 
At 11,000 feet (Haviland, 1065). 
Nearly allied to M. capitellata v. «venis, Wall., and to JM. sumatrana, Miq., but 
distinct from the former by the exceedingly dense foliage, the glaucous, sessile or 
subsessile leaves, and the sessile flowers ; from the latter by the dense foliage, the leaves, 
which are not emarginate and not pellucid-dotted, the sessile flowers; and from both by 
the more apiculate fruits. The dense foliage is a very striking character, and has no 
parallel even in the most stunted specimens of M. capitellata Y have seen, nor in 
those of M. sumatrana. 
MxnsiNE, sp. affinis M. achradifolie, F. Muell. 
Maripari Spur, alt. 5500 feet (Haviland, 1258). 
There is but one branch with fruits in the collection. 'The stem and the leaves are 
exceedingly like those of M. achradifolia from Queensland. the only difference being in 
the petioles, which are 4 lin. long. in the Kinabalu plant, and 1 inch in M. achradifolia. 
The flowers are pedicelled as they are in this species, and the calyx also is very similar, 
but, perhaps, a little smaller. 'The fruits are comparatively small, almost depressed, 
globose, about 13-12 lin. in diameter. As I do not know the flower of Dr. Haviland’s 
plant, and as the fruit of M. achradifolia is unknown, I abstain from describing the 
Kinabalu plant as a new species. 
LABISIA POTHOINA, Lindley, in Bot. Reg. 31, t. 48. 
From 3000 to 4000 feet (Burbidge). 
Distribution: Malay Peninsula, from Singapore to Penang; from Sumatra to Borneo. 
EMBELIA TORTUOSA, Stapf, n. sp. Frutex glaberrimus. Rami divaricati, exsiccati plus 
minusve irregulariter sulcati, cortice nigricante. Folia petiolo crasso 1-2 lin. longo 
suffulta, oblonga vel obovato-oblonga, 11-13 poll. longa, $ poll. lata, basi rotundata, 
apice obtusa, rarissime subacuta, crasse coriacea, exsiccata supra fusco-olivacea, 
subtus. ferruginea, nervis lateralibus tenuissimis numerosis, sepe indistinctis, angulo 
157-90 ortis. Paniculee terminales in ramulis foliatis 3-4 poll. longe, 24-3 poll. late, 
robustiores, strictze, subebracteatze. Pedicelli 1-2 lin. longi. Calyx ad vel ultra 
medium 5-lobus, 13 lin. dimetiens; Jobi ovati, obtusi vel acutiusculi, minute 
ciliolulati. Fructus globosus, vix 2 lin. dimetiens, styli basi persistente, apiculatus. 
At 8800 feet (Haviland, 1113). - 
A very well-marked species, allied to E. javanica, A. DO. 
EMBELIA CORIACEA, A. DC. in Trans. Linn. Soc. xvii. 135. 
From 7600 to 8800 feet (Haviland, 1152).
