Ficus, Linnaeus. 



Ficus callosa, Willcl. Mem. Acacl. Berl. (1789) 102. 



British North Borneo, Sandakan, Villamil 179, March 

 12, 1916, in thickets at an altitude of about 85 meters. 



Ceylon to Burma, the Malay Peninsula, and Java ; new to 

 Borneo. 



SANTALACEAE. 

 Scleropyrum, Arnott. 



Scleropyrum maingayi, Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. 5 (1886) 235. 



British North Borneo, Sandakan, Villamil 151/-, Febru- 

 ary 20, 1916 in forests near the Eeservoir, altitude about 80 

 meters. Trunk spiny, the fruiting racemes borne on the 

 branches, the fruits yellowish-green. 



So far as I can determine from the published descriptions 

 this specimen is referable to Hooker's species. The leaves are 

 somewhat smaller than described by Gamble,* but in essentials 

 the Bornean form appears to be the same as that from the 

 Malay Peninsula and Penang. The genus is new to Borneo.

Sterculia glomerata, Blanco, Fl Filip. (1837) 764.

British North Borneo, Kalabakan watershed, along the 

 Pinayas Eiver, Villamil 21+1, October 7, 1916, altitude 10 

 meters. 



This specimen, although with very immature fruits, comes 

 well within the range of variation of the very common Knema 

 glomerata, (Blanco) Merr., which is found throughout the 

 Philippines at low and medium altitudes; the species has not, 

 however, previously been reported as an extra-Philippine one.
