312 Stapf. — On the Sonerileae of Asia. 
2. S. beccariana , Cogn. Sarawak. 
3. 5 . velutina , Cogn. Sarawak. 
4. borneensis , Cogn. Sarawak. 
5. S. hirtella , Cogn. Sarawak. 
5. moluccana is monocarpic with a short rooting stem 
and rather crowded leaves. The small ones are often only a 
few millimeters in diameter and early deciduous. There oc- 
curs in Sumatra, Java, and South Borneo, a variety which is 
distinguished by a much scantier and shorter tomentum on 
the stem and the petioles, and, at least in the Borneo speci- 
mens, almost glabrous leaves. It was called 5 . begoniaefolia 
v. pilosula by Triana (Trans. Linn. Soc. xxviii. 77). I call it 
S. moluccana v. pilosula. Very near to S. moluccana come: 
5 . beccariana^ Cogn., chiefly differing by narrower stronger 
leaves and distinctly pedicelled flowers and capsules ; S'. 
velutina , Cogn. with a softer and shorter tomentum ; then 
.S', borneensis , Cogn. and S'. hirtella , Cogn. The latter two, 
of which I saw only S. borneensis , are evidently very closely 
allied, and I doubt very much whether they can be sepa- 
rated specifically. They approach at the same time also very 
closely to .S', beccariana , and I should not be surprised if these 
four Sarawak species should prove in future to belong to one 
multifarious set of inextricable forms. 
6. S. parviflora, Cogn. Sarawak. 
Unknown to me. It has unequal but symmetrical leaves. 
7. S'. heterophylla, Jack. Sumatra, Java. 
8. 5 . tuberculifera , Cogn. Sumatra. 
The narrow-leaved Sonerilas of this group are represented 
in Sumatra and Java by a similar form, but with con- 
spicuously sinuate-dentate leaves and very short axillary 
cymes which often are reduced to fascicles or clusters of two 
to five flowers. This is S', heterophylla , from which S'. tuber- 
culifera differs only by shorter and broader leaves. It is 
probably nothing but a state or variety of S'. heterophylla. 
9. S’. integrifolia , Stapf. Perak, 
Herba erecta. Caulis nigrescens, breviter et adpresse strigil- 
losus. Folia valde inaequalia ; majora subsessilia oblique
