Excluded Species 
V. erythrinum Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 4688. Diplycosia erythrina 
King and Gamble, l.c. 72. Almost certainly a form of V. 
waringicefolium common in the Sumatra and Java mountains. 
The only specimen quoted for this by King and Gamble which 
I have seen is Wray’s plant from Gunong Bubu 3816, but 
that which is only in fruit has solitary axillary flowers, and 
cannot possibly be V. erythrinum. A fruiting Vactinium col¬ 
lected by Robinson on Gunong Mengkuang Lebah more closely 
resembles it, but the fruit is glaucous and the sepals are larger. 
Order LXXXI. ERICACEAE. 
Shrubs or trees. Leaves alternate or whorled. Flowers racemed, 
fascicled or solitary. Calyx free or slightly adnate to ovary, 
4(5- or 6)-lobed, Corolla hypogynous, imbricate or contort rarely 
valvate, 4 to 5 lobes (rarely more). Stamens hypogynous 10 (5, 
8, or 20); anthers dehiscing by terminal pores or with apical tubes. 
Disc usually present. Ovary 5-celled; style slender. Stigma 
sometimes lobed. Fruit capsular, 5-celled, seeds many, rarely
