200 NEW OR NOTEWORTHY BORNEAN PLANTS. 
base rounded, somewhat 3-nerved, the apex conspicuously acuminate, 
the acumen stout, about 1 cm. long, blunt, the upper surface 
brownish-olivaceous, glabrous except for the ferruginous-pubescent 
midrib and nerves, the lower surface pale-brownish, somewhat pub- 
escent along the midrib and nerves; lateral nerves above the basal 
pair 4 or 5 on each side of the midrib, prominent, curved, ascending, 
the primary reticulations also prominent; petiolules ferruginous- 
pubescent, about 4 mm. long. Panicles narrow, terminal and in 
the axils of the uppermost leaves, 5 to 10 cm. long, densely pubes- 
cent. Flowers 4- and 5-merous, white. Sepals oblong, obtuse, 
pubescent, 1.8 mm. long. Petals narrowly oblong-obovate, glabrous, 
3.9 mm. long, 1 to 1.2 mm. wide, obtuse. Stamens 8 or 10, their 
filaments glabrous, 2 to 4 mm. long. Carpels 4 or 5, narrowly 
oblong, 1 mm. long, densely hirsute. 
British North Borneo, Suan Lamba River near Sandakan, 
Agama 573, August, 1918. In level forests at low altitudes. The 
specimens were originally identified as Agelaea borneensis Merv. 
from which the species is radically distinguished by its slightly 
pubescent leaflets and by its floral characters. On account of the 
number of the stamens its alliance seems to be with A gelaea wallichu 
Hook. f. rather than A. borneensis. From A. agamae it is distine- 
guished by its indumentum and by its inflorescences being terminal 
and axillary, not cauline.

Connarus euphlebius sp. nov. 
Frutex scandens, perspicue ferrugineo-pubescent;  foliis 
usque ad 40 cm. longis, foliolis plerumque 7, oblongo-ellipticis, 
chartaceis vel subcoriaceis, 10-16 cm. longis, supra glabris, nitidis, 
subtus ad costam nervosque ferrugineo-pubescentibus, acuminatis, 
basi rotundatis vel acutis, minute peltatis, nervis utrinque 16- 
12, supra impressis, subtus valde perspicuis; folliculis inaequilater- 
aliter obovoideis, 4+.5-5 cm. longis, 3 em. latis, extus dense rutfo- 
brunneo-pubescentibus, intus simpliciter pubescentibus, apice late 
rotundatis, inflatis, 2 cm. crassis, deorsum angustatis. 
A woody vine, the branchlets, petioles, inflorescences, fruits, 
and the lower surface of the leaflets on the midrib and lateral nerves 
densely ferruginous-pubescent, the branches up to 1 cm.in diameter 
also with similar indumentum. Leaves up to 40 cin. long, rather 
long-petioled; leaflets usually 7, oblong to oblong-elliptic, chartace- 
ous or subcoriaceous, 10 to 16 cm. long, to 6 cm. wide, the upper 
surface olivaceous, shining, the lower surface paler, apex shortly and 
obtusely acuminate, base rounded to obtuse and usually minutely 
peltate ; lateral nerves 10 to 12 on each side of the midrib, impressed 
on the upper surface, very prominent on the lower surface, somewhat 
curved and ascending at ian angle of about 45°, the primary reticula- 
tions subparallel, distinct. Panicles in fruit about as long as the 
Jeaves, the folicles obovoid, inflated, 4.5 to 5 cm. long, about 3 cm.
