DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 249 
PHYLLOCLADUS HYPSOPHYLLA, Hooker fil. Ic. Pl 889. 
A tree 10-30 feet high at lower elevations, from 8000 to 10,000 feet (Low); a shrub 
from 10,000 to 12,000 feet (Haviland, 1092). 
Distribution: North Borneo; New Guinea. This species was found also on Lobong 
Peak, N.E. Borneo, at 4000 feet, by Lobb, and in Sarawak by Beccari (no. 2391, 3220). 
PODOCARPUS CUPRESSINA, R. Brown, ex Mirbel in Mém. Mus. Par. xiii. 75. 
At 11,000 feet (Haviland, 1094). 
Distribution: Malaya, from the Peninsula and Sumatra to the Philippines; Hainan ; 
North Burma; New Caledonia and Viti Isl. (?). 
The locality where Griffith collected the plant is near the serpentine mines south of 
the Hoo-Koom Valley, between 1600 and 2600 feet. The New Caledonian specimens are 
not quite complete and may perhaps belong to another species. 
PoDOCARPUS NERIIFOLIA, D. Don, in Lamb. Pin. edit. I. p. 122, et 3, p. 74; Hooker fil. 
Fl. Br. Ind. v. 649. 
var. BREVIFOLIA, Stapf, n. var. Folia densissima, 1-11 poll. longa, 2-3 lin. lata. 
Amenta mascula solitaria. Fructus ovoideus, 5 lin. longus, receptaculum bracteis 
anguste ovatis integris suffultum «equans. 
From 17,000 to 12,000 feet (Low, $; Haviland, 1093, 3). 
Distribution (of species) : Malaya, from the Peninsula and Sumatra to the Philippines ; 
Tropical Himalaya and Khasia Hills; Indo-China; Central China and Japan. 
I have not been able exactly to match the present form, which comes nearest to the 
one described as Podocarpus polystachya by R. Brown, and merged by Sir J oseph Hooker 
in P. neriifolia. It is probably an alpine state of P. polystachya, with a stunted habit 
owing to an elevated and exposed locality. 
FILICES. (By J. G. BAKER.) 
GLEICHENIA CIRCINATA, Swartz, Syn. Fil. 165; Hooker & Baker, Syn. Fil. ed. II. 11. 
At 5000 to 6000 feet (Burbidge) ; at 10,500 feet (Haviland, 1483). 
Distribution: From Australia and New Zealand to Malacca and the Philippines. 
CvarHEA HAVILANDII, Baker, n. sp. (37 *). Stipites validi, paleis lanceolatis copiosis 
brunneis crispatis ad apicem preediti. Lamina oblongo-lanceolata, tripinnatifida, 
subcoriacea, glabra, bipedalis, 9-12 poll. lata, infra in pinnularum costis dense 
paleacea ; rhachis valida, paleacea ; pinnæ sessiles, oblongo-lanceolatze, inferiores 
numerosee, 5-6 poll. longze, 2 poll. latze, infime haud reducte; pinnule pluri mæ 
confertze, lanceolatee, sessiles, inferiores profunde pinnatifidee, segmentis tertiariis 
lineari-oblongis, erecto-patentibus ; venulze simplices 4-5-jugze, erecto-patentes. Sori 
in pinnularum costis uniseriati. Indusium firmum, cupulatum, persistens, glabrum, ` 
ore truncato. 
At 10,500 feet (Haviland, 1485). 
A very distinct species, most resembling in texture and final segments the American 
Alsophila pruniata. |
