Mount Dulit, No. 8, E. Mjoberg. between the altitudes of 

 1200 and 1500 m.. January. 1923. 



Strongly characterized by being entirely grjabrous through- 

 out except for the appressed-hirsute leafy parts of the erect 

 simple stems ; by its very unequal leaves which are numerous 

 and crowded on the upper half of the stems; and by its lax. 

 few flowered inflorescences, the flowers being unusually 

 large in the genus. 



\nother species in the general gi'oup with la-ora fulgens 

 Roxb., but with sessile leaves which are narrowed below 

 the middle to the abruptly rounded or obtuse base, the base 

 varying from 1 to 2.5 cm in width. The almost setiform 

 tips of the stipules are about 7 mm in length.

The specimens agiee v ith Kortbals' '^rief description and 

 also fairly well with Ri-lley's incomplete one (Fl. Malay 

 Renins. 2, 94 (1923). The type was from Soutliern Borneo, 

 and the transfers of the specific name, made independently 

 bv O. Kuntze, Ridley, and Valeton, were all based on 

 Pavetfa stenopJujJla Korth. From Miquel's ample description 

 of Pavetta polita (J.rora poliia Boerl.) it is clear that the 

 latter has little in common with Txora sienophylla O. Kuntze 

 as interpreted here and by Ridley.
