 2.25 mm. long, lanceolate, obscurely three-lobed; lateral lobes

17. FHOLIDOT A Lindl. 



Eight species of Pholidota have been reported as natives of 

 Borneo. The first collection from Mount Kinabalu to contain 

 representatives of this genus was made by Clemens in 1915. 

 Clemens found Pholidota carnea (Bl.) Lindl., and P. gihbosa De 

 Vriese, the former referred to Crinonia and the latter to Che- 

 lonanthera in Pfitzer and Kranzlin's monograph of the Coelogy- 

 ninae in Engler's Das Pflanzenreich.
