216 DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 
At the Penokok, from 3000 to 3200 feet (Haviland, 1301, 1305). 
A very well-marked species, the affinity of which I am not able to point out. The 
floral structure is exactly that of a typical 4-merous Premna, but the corolla is perfectly 
glabrous inside. The inflorescence is said to be terminal in Premna, but the fact is that 
it often terminates short branches which come from the axils of leaves and which bear 
only a few leaves or none at all. In this case the inflorescence might be called just as 
well axillary. When these axillary leafless or almost leafless inflorescences appear, the 
supporting leaves are either still persistent or they have already fallen off. Both cases 
may be seen on the same specimen. This kind of development has reached its extreme 
in P. cauliflora. The flower-bearing branches are leafless and reduced to a swelling or a 
knot on the stem, from which the sessile cyme springs. 
CLERODENDRON KINABALUENSE, Stapf, n. sp. Rami novelli dense patule hirtelli, demum 
glabrescentes, cortice pallido. Folia opposita, «equalia, petiolo tenuiter puberulo, 
interdum supra basin et sub apice constricto, 1-13 poll. longo suffulta, obverse lanceo- 
lata vel lanceolato-oblonga, 6-10 poll. longa, 2-23 poli. lata, acuminata, repando 
serrulata, supra primo setulis minutis, mox—basi incrassatá exceptá—deciduis con- 
spersa, subtus in nervis fusco-pubera, nervis lateralibus utrinque 11-13.  Panicula 
terminalis ad 8 poll. longa, 4-5 poll. lata, erecta, patule pubescens: rami bracteis 
lanceolatis usque filiformibus sustenti, cymas 5-2-floras laxas gerentes; pedicelli 4-7 
lin. longi. Calyx 5-partitus; segmenta lanceolata sub anthesi 4-5 lin. longa, longe 
acuta, pubescentia, demum excrescentia. Corolle tubus tenuis, 6-8 lin. longus, 
pilosulus; lobi subzequilongi, subspathulati, apiculati. Stamina stylusque ¿ poll. 
exserta. 
At the Penokok, alt. 3200 feet ( Haviland, 1307). 
Allied to C. disparifolium, Blume, C. Griffithianum, C. B. Clarke, and C. calamitosum, 
but distinct by the long leaves ; from the first also by the much larger calyx, and from 
the second by the shorter corolla-tube. C. obtusidens, Miq., of which I do not know the 
type, has the calyx only half as long, aecording to the description. "There are in the 
Herbarium several closely-allied species from North Borneo, but all undescribed.
