BEGONIAS OF BOKNEO, 257 



arms 3, stigmas reniform with rather strong processes. 

 Fruit $ inch long, 1 inch wide across the broad tri- 

 angular rounded wings. 



Sarawak on the Limestone rocks at Jambusan caves, 

 (Eidley 12393) Braang {Haviland 94). 



The flowers and fruit are considerably larger in 

 Haviland's specimens than in mine, but I think they 

 are the same species.

 ing at the nodes. At each node a pair of oblong lanceo- 

 late cuspidate, scale leaves i inch long. Leaves fleshy

 numerous filaments free longer than the elliptic anthers. 

 Female sepals 3 red oblong. Petals 2 smaller. Styles 3 

 connate at base, stigmas reniform hairy. Capsule ellip- 

 tic with the broad rounded wings transversely elliptic 

 a inch wide f inch long one wing smaller than the

Sarawak on Limestone rocks at Jambusan, Bau. 

 (Ridley 11772), 



A slender creeping plant hanging down over the rock 

 faces, with fleshy leaves the nerves of which are invis- 

 ible and red stems, at least in the long trailing stems 

 of the Jambusan plant. In the stouter Bau plant the 

 nerves are more conspicuous the leaves inaequilateral 

 and ovate acuminate. This appears to be the lowest- 

 part of the plant, the Jambusan one being creeping 

 sprays.
