No representative of the Basellaceae is definitely recorded 

 from Borneo; the widely cultivated Basella alba Linn, doubtless 

 occurs there. Likewise no representative of the Caryophyllaceae 

 is known from Borneo; doubtless the pantropic Drymaria cordata 

 Willd. occurs there and perhaps representatives of one or two 

 other genera. 



Nyctaginaceae. 

 No representative of this family is definitely reported from 

 Borneo. Bougainvillea speciosa Willd. is cultivated for orna- 

 mental purposes in the coastal towns (Clemensl Villamill). 

 Doubtless several species of Pisonia occur in the Island, as well 

 as the common Boerhaavia diffusa Linn.
