220 DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 
At 5000 feet (Haviland, 1221). 
The foliage is not unlike that of Litsea khasiana, Meissn., or L. elongata, Wall., 
with which the affinity probably lies. 
LITSÆA ZEYLANICA, C. & Fr. Nees in Amon. Bot. Bonn. fasc. i. 58, t. 5, ex Nees Syst. 
Laur. 626.— 3, 2. 
At 8000 feet (Haviland, 1128). 
Distribution : Throughout Malaya, from Sumatra to the Philippines and the Moluccas ; 
on the mainland to the Khasia Hills and Bhotan; Ceylon and in the Deccan Peninsula 
as far as the Concan. 
I take L. cinnamomea, Blume, from Ternate, and a specimen from Luzon (Vidal, 528), 
' to be the same species.

pedunculi 1-1} lin. longi, ut bracteæ involucrantes fulvo-sericei ; pedicelli subnulli. 
Perigonium extus sericeum ; segmenta 6 insequalia, 3 plerumque multo minora, 
, majora ovata acuta, 1 lin. longa. Staminodia 12 filiformia, interiora breviora et 
. basi glandulis binis instructa. Ovarium glabrum, cum stylo 14 lin. longum; stigma

Penokok River, alt. 3000 feet (Haviland, 1334). 
This is possibly a Litsea, but the fruit resembles closely that of Lindera reticulata. 
LINDERA CAsSIA, Reinw. ex Villar in Blanco, Fl. Filipp. ed. III. App. 181.—Syn. 
Daphnidium cesium, Nees in Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. i. 976. 
, var. RUFA, Stapf. Ramuli novelli et petioli dense rufo-strigillosi. Folia majora ad 
13 poll. longa, acuminata, sed non adeo ut in var. acuminata, Miq. 1. c. 
At 8000 feet (Haviland, 1106). 
Distribution (of species): Malaya, from Sumatra to the Philippines. 
PROTEACEZ. 
HELICIA ERRATICA, Hook. fil. in Fl. Brit. Ind. v. 189. 
At 5000 feet (Haviland, 1197). 
Distribution : Sikkim Himalaya, Khasia Hills and Martaban, East to Burma ; Borneo. 
Dr. Haviland states that the flowers are white, whilst those of the Sikkim and Khasia 
plants are said to be pale yellowish. The material is rather imperfect, and the Bornean 
plant may prove to be a new species or variety.
