248 DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU, 
DESCHAMPSIA FLEXUOSA, Trinius, in Bull. Sc. Acad. Petersb. i. (1836), 66. 
var. LIGULATA, Stapf, n. var. Folia rigidiora, crassiora; ligulæ foliorum intermedi- 
orum 2-4 lin. longe, albo-scariosze, tenues, fere ad basin bifidee. 
At 13,000 feet (Haviland, 1400). 
Distribution (of species): Europe from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean Sea and to 
the Caucasus; North America from Greenland to Canada and the Northern United 
States; Falkland Islands and Magellan Strait. 
A specimen from Baie Francaise, in the Falkland Islands, comes nearer to this variety 
than any other specimen I have seen. The leaves measure over 3 lin. in diameter, but 
their anatomical structure is exactly of the same type as that of the common form with 
setaceous leaves. The difference is due to the enlargement of the cells, whilst the greater 
stiffness is caused by the stronger development of the subepidermal layer of sclerenchyma. 
The awn is straight in the Kinabalu specimens, but they are still young; and the awns 
of typical D. flexuosa may also be found to be so in this state. 
SCHIZOSTACHYUM BLUMI1, Nees, Agr. Bras. 535 (?). 
Tawaran, at 1600 feet (Haviland, 1387). 
Distribution: Malaya, from Java to Borneo. 
The specimen is too imperfect to make the determination perfectly safe. It seems, 
however, to be certainly identical with specimens collected by Motley near Banjermassin. 
One of these was named S. brachycladum by Munro in MSS.; but he added “ very near 
S. Blumei,” and then * S. Blumei ?," and I cannot distinguish it from the present species. 
But these specimens, again, are not in a sufficiently perfect condition for settling the 
question. 
DINOCHLOA (?), sp. 
Penokok River, 3000 feet (Haviland, 1390). 
The flowers are too young for description, but the plant has perfectly the appearance 
of D. Tjankorreh, Buese, with the exception that the spikelets are larger and each 
cluster is supported by a bract of almost equal length. 
CONIFERJE. 
DACRYDIUM ELATUM, Wallich, Cat. 6045 ; Endlicher, Conif. 226. 
At 6,600 feet ( Haviland, 1183). 
Distribution : Malaya, from the Peninsula and Sumatra to Borneo; Cambodja. 
DACRYDIUM, n. sp., aff. D. elato, Wallich. 
Small tree with pendulous branchlets, when young; from 8000 to 11,000 feet ( Low). 
A very characteristic species with long pendulous branchlets, with the leaves about 
$in. in diameter. The densely crowded leaves are erect, but slightly curved outwards 
and # in. long and ¿lin. broad. They are triangular in transverse section, with a 
distinct keel on the back and a faintly raised middle nerve above, and they terminate 
with a hard and sharp mucro. The specimens have neither flowers nor fruits,
