are also longer and more acute, and the inflorescence is more puberulous and richer. 
But these differences do not appear to me sufficient to justify the specific separation of 
Dr. Haviland’s plant, of which I saw only one branch. 
WILLUGHBEIA FIRMA, Blume, Mus. Bot. i. 154.—Syn. W. Burbidgei, Dyer, in Kew 
Report, 1880, pp. 44-46. 
. Near Koung and Kiau (Burbidge). 
Distribution: Malaya, from Borneo to Sumatra, and in the Peninsula as far as Perak. 
Burbidge's specimens in the Herbarium are marked * Lawas River," but there is a 
sketch and a note in his journal which make it pretty certain that the same species is 
also found at the base of Kinabalu. He states that it is a large climber, with 
golden yellow fruits and rather common, and that the Gutta hunters seem to obtain 
plenty of produce, as in most of the houses he was shown bundles of balls, some old and 
dry, having been kept two to three years, which the natives know very well improves them. 
RAUWOLFIA SERPENTINA, Benth. in Benth. et Hook. fil. Gen. Pl. ii. 697. 
———, var. GRACILIS, Stapf, n. var. Cyme 4-5-flore, graciliores, laxiores. Calycis lobi 
anguste lineares, elongati, 13 lin. longi. 
_ At the Penokok, alt. 3000 feet (Haviland, 1946). 
Distribution: Tropical Himalaya to Tenasserim ; Ceylon to Travancore ; Java. 
Exactly of the habit of R. serpentina ; but the inflorescence and the shape of the calyx- 
lobes, which I find very uniform in the Indian and Javanese specimens, differ slightly. 
ALYXIA LUCIDA, Wall. in Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Wall. & Carey, ii. 540. 
, Var. MEIANTHA, Stapf, n. var. Corolle tubus 4i lin. longus, i. e. fere duplo 
longior quam in Wallichii exemplis. 
At 7500 feet (Haviland, 1185). 
Distribution (of species): Malaya, on the mainland to Perak, Sumatra, Java, Borneo. 
A. quinata, Miq., from Sumatra, is identical with 4. lucida, Wall. 
ALYXIA, Sp. 
At 5000 feet (Haviland, 1184). 
The material is too imperfect for determination. Dr. Haviland says it is a straggling 
shrub with white flowers. 
PARAMERIA GLANDULIFERA, Benth. in Benth. et Hook. fil. Gen. Plant. ii. 715. 
, Var. PHILIPPINENSIS, Stapf.—(Syn. P. philippinensis, Radlk. in Sitz. Ber. Bayr. 
Ak. Wiss. xiv. 518.) 
At Kiau, alt. 2500 feet (Haviland, 1359). 
Distribution (of species): Malaya, on the mainland to Martaban and South Cambodja, 
Andamans to the Philippines. 
The differential characters as indicated by Radlkofer do not hold good when tried on 
a larger material Hairy pits occur also on the leaves of the type specimen, the inflores-
