222 DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 
adds “inferne attenuata." I have not seen the type of it, and I do not consider the 
description to be sufficient for identification. The specimens on which Loranthus 
estipitatus is founded differ to a certain degree in the intensity of the tomentum, the 
size of the leaves, and the length of the corolla, but not so much as the various forms 
comprised under L. Scurrula do. The fruit is more ovoid in the Bornean specimen, 
and more oblong, or almost cylindric, in that from Perak; but these extreme forms are 
perfectly connected by intermediate states, and they are always sessile, not stipitate.

From 9000 to 11,000 feet on Rhododendron ericoides and Leptospermum recurvum 
Haviland, 1079, 1108). 
Distribution: North Borneo (Sarawak, Becc. 2579). 
A very incomplete young specimen, collected by Low at 8000 feet on Kinabalu, evi- 
dently belongs also to L. Havilandii. 
. Allied to a Lepeostegeres from Malacca [ Maingay, 695], which, according to Dr. King, 
is perhaps identical with ZL. Kingii, Scort. ex King, in Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, lvi. p. 99. 
Maingay’s specimen differs by its larger leaves and much larger flowers (to 21 in.), which 
are split for about 4-6 lin. into 5 linear segments, then widened for 1-13 in. and very 
narrowly cylindric at the base. I have not seen the type of L. Kingii, but from the 
description it appears to me rather doubtful whether Maingay’s specimen is really iden- 
tical with the true Z. Kingú. However that may be, Haviland's plant certainly differs 
also from the latter by the smaller leaves and flowers and the sexfid corolla, which is not 
slit on one side.
