have Hymenolepsis platyrhynchos Kze., Loxogramme iridifolia Copel., 
Ficus Forstenii Mig. (also in Timor), Drimys piperita Hook. f. 
(also in New Caledonia), and JMallotus Korthalsii Muell. Arg. 
Two species are reported from Borneo, Australia, and the 
Philippines: Schoenus melanostachys R. Br., and Scirpus inundatus 
Poir., and to this list of Australian types must be added 
Patersonia .Lowiit Stapf, and Didiscus saniculaefolius Merr., con- 
fined to Borneo and Mindoro, both representatives of typical 
Australian genera. These Australian types, common to the 
Philippines and Borneo, but otherwise unknown in. Malaya, 
offer some evidence that the same agencies that have caused 
their distribution to the Philippines have also effected Borneo, 
although to a less marked degree. Two species, Lygodium semi- 
hastatum Desv., and Maoutia reticulata Wedd., extend from 
Borneo through the Philippines to the Marianne Islands, while 
the genus Discocolyx has about 10 species in the Philippines 
of which one extends to Borneo, with one in the Marianne 
Islands and one in the Tonga group. Three species: Gaultheria 
borneensis Stapf, Mallotus Playfairii Hemsl. and Boea Swinhou 
Hance extend from Borneo trough Luzon to Formosa, thus 
overlapping the distribution mentioned above as extending 
from the Malay Peninsula through Borneo to the Philippines.
