208 DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 
cence is occasionally lax in the Indian plant, and calyx and corolla vary within the 
extremes which are said to be characteristic of the two species. But there is a differ- 
entiation in Parameria glandulifera (sensu ampliore): the Philippine and the Kinabalu 
plants are very minutely hairy in the young branches and inflorescences, just as in Radl- 
kofer’s description, and they have smaller calyces than Wallich’s specimens. Yet a 
Bornean specimen, collected by Motley near Banjermassin, shows the same tomentum, 
though in a less degree, whilst it is otherwise indistinguishable from the typical form ; 
on the other hand, a Javan specimen with glabrous panicles and branches has 
calyces hardly larger than those of Radlkofer’s P. philippinensis. Thus I think it more 
expedient to enumerate the eastern form as a geographical variety of P. glandulifera.

G. lycopodioides belongs, like G. borneensis, Hook. fil., to the multifarious group of 
G. quadrifaria, Bl., which is still very little understood. It is chiefly characterized 
_ by the ¿cación large and bell-shaped flowers and the peculiar habit. The leaves 
. —even those at the base of the stems—are very small and rigid. The stalk of the capsule
