232 SCITAMINEAE OF BORNEO. 



Sarawak at Puak (Eidley 12357). 



This curious small species lays its stems quite flat on 

 the ground. The flowers are white, and the leaves are 

 remarkable for the close set venis being thickly hairy 

 giving the back of the leaf a curious ribbed appearance.

A small plant usually about a foot tall with lanceolate 

 acuminate leaves, usually glabrous, 3 inches long 1 inch
