ON THE FLORA OF BORNEO. 105 



oblongis, haud aristatis, appendicibns brevissimis, latis, trun- 

 catis; fructibus junioribus cinereo-villosis. 



Apparently an erect shrub, the branchlets, lower surface 

 of the leaves along the midrib, and the petioles distinctly- 

 pubescent, the inflorescences rather prominently cinereous- 

 villous. Branches dull-brownish, terete, glabrous. Leaves 

 rather crowded, thickly coriaceous, elliptic, entire, 2 to 4 cm. 

 long, 1.3 to 2 cm. wide, subequally rounded at base and apex, 

 the apex refuse, olivaceous and shining when dry, the lower 

 surface somewhat paler than the upper, obscurely glandular- 

 punctate; lateral nerves 3 or 4 on each side of the midrib, 

 sharply ascending, slender, rather distinct on the lower sur- 

 face, obscurely anastomosing; petioles stout, about 2.5 mm. 

 long. Eacemes axillary, solitary, 2 to 3 cm. long, 6- to 10- 

 flowered, rather prominently cinereous-villous, the pedicels 

 about 5 mm. long, the bracts acicular, 1 to 1.5 mm. long, de- 

 ciduous. Flowers apparently red, about 12 mm. long. Calyx- 

 tube ovoid-globose, about 2.5 mm. in diameter, villous, the 

 segments 5, ovate, obtuse, villous, about 2 mm. long. Corolla 

 about 9 mm. long, about 3 mm. in diameter below, narrowed 

 upward, the mouth contracted, glabrous outside, somewhat 

 villous inside, the lobes somewhat spreading or recurved, ovate, 

 obtuse, about 1 mm. long. Stamens 10 ; filaments villous, 3 

 mm. long; anthers oblong, 1.5 mm. long, not spurred, the 

 appendages stout, broad truncate, scarcely 0.5 mm. long, the 

 two together as wide as the basal part of the anther. Style 8 

 to 9 mm. long, villous in the lower one-half or two-thirds. 

 Young fruits ovoid-globose, rather densely cinereous-villous, 

 crowned by the erect calyx-lobes.

 Spur, Clemens 1089 1^, 11099, the former in flower, November 

 22, the latter in young fruit, December 2, 1915. 



A characteristic species easily recognizable by its rather 

 small, thickly coriaceous, elliptic, somewhat refuse leaves, and 

 its prominently cinereous-villous racemes. 



Vaccinium sarawakense, sp. nov. 



Frutex (vel arbor), inflorescentiis obscure castaneo- 

 glanduloso-pubescentibus exceptis glaber; foliis ellipticis, 

 coriaceis, in siccitate pallidis, utrinque subaequaliter angus- 

 tatis, basi acutis, apice acuminatis, usque ad 9 cm. longis, 

 nervis primariis utrinque 2 vel 3, tenuibus, adscen- 

 dentibus ; racemis axillaribus, 3 ad 6 cm. longis ; bracteis 

 acicularibus, circiter 2 mm. longis, caducis ; floribus 5-meris, 

 circiter 8 mm. longis; corolla sursum angustata, extus glabra 

 intus puberula; anthefis dorso minute 2-aristatis, appendicibus 

 tubulosis, 1 mm. longis, truncatis; stylis glabris. 



A shrub or tree quite glabrous except the racemes which 

 are supplied with short, scattered, chestnut-brown, blunt^
