Clerodendron. 279 



0.3—0.4 cM., glabrous, 5-cleft halfway down, the lobes 

 subrounded, with ciliate margins; corolla clavate in bud, 

 2 cM. long, subglabrous, the tube subinfundibuliform, the 

 lobes rounded, with ciliate margins; yellow with orange-

New-Guinea: Nyman no. 730, Kais.-W.-land, Sattel- 

 mt., 600 M. in alt., flow, in July 1899. 



This species has in its inflorescense a close affinity with the 

 subsection Racemiflora, to which somewhat doubtful group it 

 should be brought perhaps ; it differs from it, however, in the 

 shape of the calyx, which is not at all cup-shaped, and may 

 form a transition-form between the above subsection and the 6 

 following species, (cf. also C. macrophyllum Bl. and C. Wil- 

 liamsii Elm).

 (1860) and Ann. Mus. L.-B. Ill, 254; Hall, f., Med. 

 's Rijks Herb. Leid. no. 37, 73. — A shrub?; branchlets 

 ± round; leaves oblong-oblanceolate, base cuneate, apex 

 abruptly and shortly acuminate, margins entire; subchar- 

 taceous; both sides entirely glabrous; pairs of nerves ± 

 9; 30—37 by 10—12 cM.; petioles 31/2— 5 cM.; thyrse 

 (terminal?) densely pubescent, peduncles opposite, cymes 

 dichotomous; calyx 1.2 cM., 5-partite, the lobes lanceo- 

 late, acuminate, pubescent; ovary white-pubescent. 



Sumatra: H. Bog. No. 2539. 



The species is, in our opinion, not identical with C. macro- 

 phyllum Bl. (C. phyllomega Steud.) as Miguel (Ann. Ill, 254) 

 supposes and Hallier I.e. thinks. It differs from that species in 

 its leaves, which have only 9 (not 7—15) pairs of nerves and 

 arc abrupriy acuminate, and in its larger calyx. 



33. C. kinabaluense Stapf, Trans.. Linn. Soc. Ser. II, 

 IV, 216 (1894) — A shrub?; branchlets densely hirsute; 

 leaves oblanceolate or lanceolate-oblong, petioles sparsely 

 puberulous sometimes narrowed above the base and near
