242 DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 
PATERSONIA BORNEENSIS, Stapf, n. sp. (Pl XX. a. 1-6.) Planta 13-21 ped. alta. 
Caulis brevissimus. Folia circiter 10-12 cum scapo quoque, eximie disticha, 
equitantia, linearia, longiora, ad 2 ped. alta, ad 3 lin. lata, «equaliter acutata, 
planissima, rigida, glaberrima, in marginibus levia et subincrassata, tenuiter sed 
distincte striata. Scapus foliis «equilongus vel paulo brevior, in tertiá parte 
superiore nudus. Spath:e 2 lineari-oblongee, acutee, striatze, scarioso-marginatee, 5-6- 
flore, inferior 16-18 lin. longa, 22-3 lin. lata, superior 18-22 lin. longa, internodio 
distincto separata. Bractez spathis consimiles, paulo longiores, longe tenuiterque 
acuminatee, scariose. — Perigonii tubus gracillimus, 1 poll. longus, breviter exsertus ; 
lobi exteriores, elliptico-oblongi, albi, purpureo-suffusi, 8 lin. longi, 4 lin. lati, 
interiores nulli. Filamenta in tubum integrum connata; anthere 2 lin. longe. 
Stylus superne sensim leviterque incrassatus; lobi stigmatici obovato-oblongi, 
margine papilloso-fimbriati. Capsula inter bracteas sessilis, $ poll. longa; valve 
styli residuis caudate. Semina ellipsoidea, 1 lin. longa, nigra, nitidissima. 
Temburungo, alt. 7700 feet (Haviland, 1179). 
Allied to the preceding species, but much taller and with a somewhat different foliage. 
I have not seen the slightest trace of the inner row of segments in the perianth. The 
structure of the spikes, which are few-flowered riphidia, is the same which is typical for a 
great number of Iridez, and amongst them for Sisyrinchium, to which Patersonia 
approaches indeed closely in more than one respect. 
LILIACE.JE. 
SMILAX LEVIS, Wall. Cat. 5116; A. DC. Monogr. i. 56. 
At 7800 feet (Haviland, 1145). 
Distribution: Malaya, in the Peninsula as far as Penang, North Borneo; China. 
SMILAX ODORATISSIMA, Blume, Enum. 19. 
Dahombang River, alt. 3000 feet (Haviland, 1293). 
Distribution: Malaya, from Java to the Philippines; on the mainland to Burma and 
the Sikkim Himalaya. 
I include also jS. aspericaulis, Wall., in this species, as the differential characters 
indieated by A. De Candolle do not prove trustworthy if tried with the material of 
S. aspericaulis preserved at Kew. From the Philippines I have seen a form with 
emarginate leaves. It was collected in North Luzon (Vidal, 1434). 
SMILAX LEUCOPHYLLA, Blume, Enum. 18, 4. et c. 
At 5500 feet (Haviland, 1226). 
Distribution: Throughout Malaya, from the Peninsula to the Philippines and the 
Moluccas; Cochin-China. 
DIANELLA ENSIFOLIA, Redouté, Lil. t. 1. 
At 8000 feet (Burbidge); Maripari Spur, alt. 5500 feet and 7500 feet (Haviland, 
1156, 1260).
