204 DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 
terminal inflorescences, though sometimes on short lateral and leafy branches. The 
fruits of the Bornean specimens are larger than any of Ardisia virens Y have seen, but the 
difference is evidently within the range of individual or racial variation. A. undulata, 
Clarke, is partly at least identical with 4. virens. Partly it seems to merge into 4. 
crenulata, Roxb., whilst on the other hand 4. macrocarpa, Wall., approaches also very 
much to A. virens. Yet, as A. crenata is very uniform over a wide area, including 
Malaya, Tropical China, and Japan, it seems to me better to retain it as a separate species, 
though closely connected with A. virens, which may or may not be merged into 4. macro- 
carpa, and which is found from the Khasia Hills over Manipur and Assam to South- 
west China, and in a hardly distinguishable form in Borneo. 
ARDISIA VILLOSA, Roxb., Fl. Ind. ed. Carey & Wall. ii. 274, forma glabrata. 
On the Kadamaian, alt. 4500 feet (Haviland, 1242). 
Distribution: Malaya, on the mainland as far as Mergui. 
ARDISIA OXYPHYLLA, Wallich, Cat. n. 2291; A. DC. Prodr. viii. 130. 
At 5000 feet (Haviland, 1212). 
Distribution: Malaya, on the mainland as far as Tenasserim, Java, Borneo (Ceram ?). 
I doubt very much whether this species can be separated from a. polycephala, Wall, 
which seems to be only a form with a stouter and richer inflorescence. In that case, the 
area would include also Burma up to Bamu and the Shan States.

At 3000 feet (Haviland, 1322). 
This is very probably a new species, differing from D. aurea by the longer flowers, 
which are caudate in the bud on account of the very tightly twisted lobes. The tube is 
3 in. long, and but little longer than the lobes, which are reflected in the open flower. 1 
found in the single good flower which 1 examined 14 glabrous stamens, arranged in two 
bundles of 3 and four bundles of 2 stamens each. 
DIOSPYROS, Sp. 
Small tree, on the Dahombang, alt. 3000 feet (Haviland, 1314). 
This species is in habit very like Diospyros pergamena, Hiern. The flowers spring, 
according to Dr. Haviland, from near the base of the stem. But, as they are all deformed, 
I must refrain from describing or naming the plant.
