DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU, 225 
ANTIDESMA AURITUM, Tulasne, in Ann. Se. Nat. 1851, p. 203 3 (ex descr.). 
At the Penokok, alt. 4000 feet ( Haviland, 1337). 
Distribution : Java. E 
I have not seen any specimen of this species, but the plants in my hands agree so per- 
fectly with Tulasue's explicit description that I have little doubt in referring them to this 
species. The leaves vary in Haviland’s specimens from 7 to 9 in. in length, and from 12 to 
21 in. in breadth. 
ANTIDESMA MonrrZzir, Muell. Arg. in Linn:a, xxxiv. 67. 
At Koung, 2000 feet (Haviland, 1374). 
Distribution: Malaya; on the mainland as far as T'enasserim ; in the Archipelago from 
Sumatra to the Philippines. 
Beccari, Sarawak, no. 3146, and a specimen by Barber, probably from Labuan, belong 
also to this species. 
CLAOXYLON PAUCIFLORUM, Stapf, n. sp. ($Zu- Claoxylon.— à 9). Ramuli pallidi, novelli 
dense et adpressissime subsericeo-pilosi, mox glabrati. Folia alterna, petiolo 4—3 lin. 
longo, supra canaliculato suffulta, oblongo- vel obovato-lanceolata, 4-7 poll. longa, 
13-24 poll. lata, basi acuta, biglandulosa, apice breviter caudato-acuminata, in margine 
calloso-denticulata, pallide viridia, supra primo adpresse pubescentia, demum glabrata, 
subtus, preecipue in nervis venisque, minute adpresseque pilosa, nervis lateralibus 
utrinque 6 erectis, venis transversalibus tenuibus, distinctis, subhorizontalibus. Mas: 
Spicee (juveniles) 1—2 poll. longe, adpresse pilose ; bractez, ut videtur, ad normam 
uniflore vel biflore (?), late ovatze, 13 lin. long:e, suá longitudine distantes ; bracteolee 
multo minores. Calyx ante anthesin ovato-globosus, adpresse pilosus, vix 1 lin. 
longus, 3-partitus, valvaris. Receptaculum in totà superficie inter stamina glandulis 
ovatis vel breviter cylindricis, apice pilis 1-3 duplo triplove longioribus instructis 
obsitum. Stamina numerosissima; anthersz loculis inter se liberis, basi fixe. 
Femina: Spice valde redacte, rhachi circiter 2 lin. longa, bi- vel uniflore; 
bracteze late ovate, obtusee, 1-13 lin. longs. Calyx 3-partitus; segmenta ovata, 
1-14 lin. longa, adpresse pilosula. Ovarium disco crassiusculo irregulariter lobulato 
cinctum, globosum, 2 lin. dimetiens, 3-loculare, villosum; stigmata simplicia, 
subsessilia, intus grosse papillosa; ovula in quoque loculo solitaria. 
At the Penokok, alt. 3000 feet ( 9 ) (Haviland, 1347); at 6000 feet (3 ) (Haviland, 
1344). 
In habit and foliage not unlike C. longifolium, Muell., but very distinct by the short 
few-flowered inflorescences, and also by the shorter petioles. 
ACALYPHA CaTURUS, Blume, Bijdr. 629; Mueller Arg. in DC. Prodr xv. pt. ii. 805. 
Penokok, alt. 3000 feet (.Haviland, 1342). 
Distribution: Malaya, from Sumatra to Borneo; probably also in New Guinea. 
This seems to be a very variable plant. Haviland’s specimen has very large leaves (the 
largest 7 by 51 in.) and extremely slender and long spikes (to 14in.). A specimen obtained 
by Beccari (Piant. Sum. 754) from the province of Padang belongs to it, and probably also 
a specimen collected by Forbes (127) in the Sogeri region, Eastern New Guinea:
