Salacia Linnaeus. 
Salacia nitidissima sp. noy. 
Frutex scandens, glaberrimus; ramis ramulisque minute lenti- 
ellatis; foliis coriaceis, elliptico-ovatis vel oblongo-ellipticis, utrin- 
que nitidis, 8—15 cm. longis, basi acutis, apice “obtuse acuminatis, 
nervis utrinque 8—1LO, perspicuis; floribus paucis, axillaribus, 9— 
11 mm. diametro, sepalis orbiculari-ovatis, rotundatis, 2 mm. dia- 
metro, petalis ellipticis vel elliptico-ovatis, 5—5.5 mm. longis, disco 
crasso, 3 mm. diametro, filamentis latis, circiter 1 mm. longis. 
A glabrous scandent vine, the branches reddish-brown to some- 
what erayish with numerous ‘small lenticels, the ultimate branch- 
lets about 1.5 mm. in diameter. Leaves opposite, coriaceous, 
elliptic-ovate to oblong-elliptic, rather pale when dry and _ pro- 
minently shining on both surfaces, 8 to 15 cm. long, 3 to 5.5 cm. 
wide, entire, the margins somewhat recurved, su bequally narrowed 
to the acute base and the bluntly acuminate apex, the acumen up 
to 1 cm. long; lateral nerves 8 to 10 on each side of the midrib, 
rather prominent on the lower surface, distinct; petioles 8 to 10 
mm. long. Flowers few, in axillary fascicles, 9 to 11 mm. in dia- 
meter, their pedicels 3 to 4 mm. long , subtended by few broadly 
ovate bracteoles about 1 mm. in length. Sepals 5, orbicular-ovate, 
rounded, about 2 mm. in diameter, glabrous. Petals elliptic to 
elliptic-ovate, rounded, 5 to 5.5 mm. long. Disk about 3 mm. in 
«iiameter, thick. Stamens 3, their filaments flattened, about 1 mm. 
long, scarcely exceeding the disk, the anthers transversely oblong. 
British North Borneo, Sibuga, near Sandakan, Ramos 1860, 
Jecember, 1920. In open forests at low altitudes. A species ap- 
parently most closely alhed to Salacia maingayt Laws., but with 
more numerously nerved, blunt-acuminate leaves and longer petioles. 
The flowers, as in Lawson’s species, are fascicled, few in number

but not borne on tubercles. 
Salacia oblongifolia Blume Bijdr. (1825) 220. 
British North Borneo, Batu Lima near Sandakan, Ramos 1561, 
1690. In secondary torests at low altitudes. Previ ously known 
only from Java, the specimens agreeing very closely both with 
Blume’s description and with Javan material.
