NEW OR NOTEWORTHY BORNEAN PLANTS. 171 
British North Borneo, Batu Lima, near Sandakan, Ramos 
1593 (type), 1578, November, 1920. In damp forests along streams 
at low altitudes. This proposed new genus and species distinctly 
resembles Haematocarpus, but does not appear to be closely allied 
to that genus and may not belong in the tribe Trichisieae. In the 
absence of female flowers and fruits it is difficult to decide its proper 
place in the family. Among the known genera of the family the 
present g genus differs in its 3 sepals which are somewhat united be- 
low, in its 5 petals and 5 stam genera the sepals, petals 
and stamens being in three’s or in multiples of three’s. This genus 
is dedicated to Mr. William O. Jupp, for long a resident of Sanda- 
kan, in appreciation of his interest in forwarding the field work in 
botany carried on by the Bureau of Science in co-operation with 
the Forestry Service of the Government of British North Borneo. 
Tinospora Miers. 
Tinospora glandulosa sp. nov. 
Frutex scandens, glaber; foliis oblongis, subcoriaceis, nitidis, 
basi rotundatis vel obtusis, usque ad 12 cm. longis, nervis utrinque 
~ vel 8, distinctis, subtus in axills perspicue glanduloss; in- 
fructescentus e nodis defoliatis, solitarius, amguste paniculatis, 
pedunculatis, usque ad 24 cm. longis, ramis primaris patulis infer- 
loribus circiter 3 cm. longis; fructibus junioribus subellipsoideis, 
5 mm. longis. 
A glabrous vine, the older branches apparently fleshy when 
fresh, when dry dark reddish-brown and smooth except for the 
seattered conspicuous lenticels, the younger branches slender, grayish 
brown, lenticellate. Leaves shining, subcoriaceous, pale and of 
about the same color on both surfaces when dry, oblong, 9 to 12 
em. long, 3.5 to 5.5 em. wide, slenderlv acute-acuminate, base round- 
ed or obtuse, 3-nerved, the later al nerves extending from one-fourth 
to one-third the length of the lamina, those above the basal pair 
6 or 7 on each side of the midrib, slender, distinct, the reticulations 
distinct on both surfaces, the axils of the primary nerves beneath 
with rather conspicuous glands (domatia); petioles slender, 3 to 
4 cm. long. Infructescences lateral, solitary from leafless nodes, 
slender, narrowly paniculate, peduncled, up to 24 cm. long, the 
branches spreading, the lower ones 3 m. long, the upper shorter. 
Immature fruits about 5 mm. long, subellipsoid, narrowed at both 
ends, inequilateral, 2 or 3 developing from each flower. 
British North Borneo, Sandakan, Wood 939 October, 12, 1920. 
In bamboo forests at low altitudes. .In vegetative characters 
and in general appearance this somewhat resembles the Philippine 
Tinospora reticulata Miers. It is not, however, very closely allied 
to that species, being very readily distinguished from this and its 
congeners by its differently shaped leaves and its more numerous 
lateral nerves.
