Mount Kinabalu, Paka Cave, Topping 1758. 
Very distinct in characteristics available for description, but still very 
possibly a much more ample form of Cyathea paleacea. Judging by the 
material in hand it seems best to regard them as distinct species. C. 
Havilandii Baker is described as subcoriaceous with the lowest pinnae not 
reduced, and the veinlets simple.

Adsunt partes mediales et verosimiliter basales frondis ; rhachi

acuminatis, rhachi superne fusco-pilosa, interne deorsum nuda, 
sursum ut costae sed sparsius paleatis; pinnulis stipitulatis, re- 
motis, usque ad 10 cm longis, 2 cm latis, valde acuminatis, basi 
rotundato-truncatis, fere ad costam pinnatifidis, costa superne 
minute pilosa, infeme paleis 1 ad 1.5 mm longis ovatis irregu- 
laribus fusco-cinereis subpersistentibus haud dense vestita; seg- 
mentis proximis, 10 ad 13 mm longis, 4 mm latis, obliquis, 
subfalcatis, obtusis, serratis, papyraceis vel subcoriaceis, inferae 
pallidis, costula superne prominente glabra, infeme deorsum 
sparse paleata, alibi glabra; venis utroque latere usque ad 8 
quarum 5- vel 6-furcatis et his plerisque soriferis; soris infra-

Mount Kinabalu, Maraiparai Spur, Mrs. Clemens 10915 (type). Topping 
1850. Mrs. Clemens’s field note states “trunk 3 ft. — frond 10-16 ft.” Well 
marked by the pedicels, those of the pinnae in hand reaching a length of 
8 cm, and of the pinnules, 6 mm. 
CYATHEA MEGALOSORA sp. nov.

sparse verruculosa, paleis cinereis sinuosis vestita; pinnis infi- 
mis ut videtur maximis, 35 cm longis, 14 cm latis, acuminatis, 
brevi-stipitulatis, basin versus subangustatis, bipinnatis, rhachi 
superne dense hirsuta, infeme paleis cinereis linearibus sinuosis

oblongis, obtusis, 3 mm latis, sequentibus conformibus adnatis 
margins deflexis, coriaceis, superne nigris, ad costas et venas
