Haviland on Kinabalu in 1892. This, together with an earlier 

 collection by Sir Hugh Low, formed the basis of a memoir by the 

 writer on the Flora of Mount Kinabalu (Trans. Linn. Soc, 

 ser. 11., vol. iv., pp. 69-263, tt. 11-20). 



Br. Haviland, who was born at Warbleton, Sussex, in 1857, 

 was a man of considerable ability, but of a retiring disposition, 

 ana almost morbid modesty where his own work was concerned. 

 ±le was an idealist and a great lover of nature who, with a little 

 more self-confidence, might have achieved much as a naturalist. 

 Under a somewhat austere outside he concealed what was really 

 a kind-hearted and generous nature.

Radermachera pentandra.-A young tree of this Bignoniad is 

 now in flower in the Temperate House at Kew. It was presented 

 by Ivlessrs. J. Veitch & Sons in 1901, along with a set of plants 

 raised from seeds collected by Mr. E. H. Wilson during his first visit 

 to omna. He described it as a large tree, but Dr. Henry, who first 

 discovered the species in Mengtze, Yunnan, at 5,000 feet, says he 

 did not see any trees of it more than 20 or 30 feet high. The genus 

 Hadermachera used to be included in Stereospcrmum which 

 comprised about a dozen species, all of them trees of good size 

 and yielding useful timW. 7? «u>« t r . *> j •„„ «-- « a x*tt^i,^<.
