wide, subopposite or subverticillate. Flowers dull-red. Sepals 
of fully mature flowers up to 12 mm in length, the petals about 
as long as but broader than the sepals. Fruiting pedicels up 
to 8 cm in length, the carpels as many as 11, of which two or 
three are usually aborted, the individual carpels about 12 mm 
long, lanceolate, acuminate, spreading.

The specimens agree with Stapf’s diagnosis based on Haviland 1272 
from Kinataki, Mount Kinabalu, and I have no doubt that they represent 
the same species. Stapf considered that the species was perhaps most 
closely allied to Illicium cambodianum Hance, which Finet & Gagnepain 
place as a variety of Illicium griffithii Hook. f. & Th. My specimens 
of Illicium cambodianum Hance differ remarkably from this Bornean form 
in their smaller, very obscurely and fewer-nerved leaves.

A tree fide Agama, the older parts glabrous, the branchlets, 
inflorescences, and lower surface of the leaflets minutely sub- 
ferruginous-puberulent. Branches and branchlets terete, stout, 
the former about 8 mm in diameter, glabrous, brownish, spar-
