CONNARACEAE. 

 Ellipanthus, Hooker f. 



Ellipanthus mindanaensis, Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 4 

 (1909) Bot. 124. 



British North Borneo, Kalambakan, Villamil 256, 

 September 21, 1916, in forests along streams near sea level. 



While this specimen is not directly comparible with Elli- 

 panthus mindanaensis, Merr., the type of the latter being a 

 fruiting specimens and the Bornean plant being in flower 

 manifestly but a single species is represented by the two. The 

 Bornean plant has somewhat thinner leaves than the Mindanao 

 one, and the ultimate reticulations are not as conspicuous. 

 The species is well characterized by its distinctly peltate leaves, 

 the petioles being inserted from 1 to 2 mm. above the basal 

 margin. 



LEGUMINOSAE. 



Parkia, E. Brown. 



Parkia singularis, Miq., Fl. Ind. Bat. 1 (1858) 1078; Suppl. 

 (1862) 285. 



British North Borneo, Sandakan, Villamil 201, January 

 8, 1916; altitude about 100 meters. 



The specimens agree closely with Miquel's extended des- 

 cription as given in his supplementary volume on Sumatra. 

 The pinnae are 2-jugate, and the leaflets, somewhat smaller 

 than described by Miquel, are pale beneath. The species has 

 previously been reported only from Sumatra, and is distin- 

 guished among all the species of Parlcia by its large leaflets.
