densely appressed-ciliate and pubescent outside, inside appressed-- 
pubescent except in the lower part which is glabrous. Petals thickly 
coriaceous, all densely pubescent on both surfaces and supphed 
with numerous, subappressed, elongated, ciliate hairs, the indumen- 
tum pale-brownish or grayish; the outer three petals about 3 cm. 
long, 12 mm. wide, the basal concave part broadly ovate, 6 to 8 mm. 
wide and long, the flattened portions oblong-elliptic, acute, some- 
what narrowed below; inner three petals lanceolate, up to 2.5 cm. 
long, 5 to 6 mm. wide, very much thickened, the arched basal 
part 6 to 7 mm. long, 5 mm. wide, glabrous inside, the free portions. 
narrowly lanceolate, acuminate. Anthers numerous, 3 mm. long, 
the connectives much thickened, 1 to 1.5 mim. long, obtuse. Carpels 
about 25, oblong, curved, glabrous, narrowed upward, 1.8 to 2 
mm. long; style as long as the carpels, club-shaped. 
British North Borneo, Batu Lima, near Sandakan, Ramos 
1465, October, 1920. In damp forests at low altitudes. A species 
remarkable for its indumentum and especially for its very densely 
pubescent and ciliate sepals and petals, as well as for its conspicuous, 
elliptic, 1 cm. long, ciliate and pubescent bracts. The indumentum 
on the lower surface of the leaves is widely scattered consisting’ 
chiefly of slender, elongated, subappressed hairs, attaining 2 to 3 
mm. in length

A scandent shrub, nearly glabrous except the flowers. Branch- 
es and branchlets slender, terete, dark-brown or nearly black when 
dry, the ultimate branchlets very sparingly appressed-pubescent.

glabrous, shining, brownish-olivaceous when dry, 10 to 15 em. 
long, 2.5 to 5 cm. wide, subequally narrowed to the: acute base. 
and the conspicuously acuminate apex; lateral nerves 12 to 15 on 
each side of the midrib, spreading, slender, distinct on both sur- 
faces, arched-anastomosing, the reticulations lax; petioles 3 to 
4 mm. long. Inflorescences leaf-opposed sparingly appressed- 
pubescent, the peduncles about 1 cm. long, at first nearly straight,.
