III.—New Plants from Sarawak.— By H. N. 
Ridley, c.m.g., m.a., f.r.s. 
The plants described below are partly from species 
collected in Sarawak by various collectors and preserved 
in the Singapore Herbarium, and some which have been 
introduced into cultivation. 
Ophiorvhiza axillaris, n. sp. 
Herbaceous or rather shrubby plants over a foot 
tall, usually branched stem hairy. Leaves ovate, to 
lanceolate narrowed at the base and oblique, apex acute, 
2 to 5 inches J-iJ i nc h wide, thin glabrous above and 
beneath when adult younger leaves hairy with sprinkled 
hairs above, and midrib and nerves brown hairy, above 
.green beneath pale, nerves io pairs brown, when dry. 
Stipules setaceous from a broad base. Cymes axillary or 
terminal short, solitary or several; peduncle in fruit \ 
inch usually hairy, cymes three branched, each branch 
with 3 flowers, crowded. Flowers subsessile inch long. 
Calyx tubular with acute lobes half as long as the corolla 
hairy or glabrescent. Corolla cylindric glabrous, lobes 
short blunt not recurved. Stamens very slender filiform. 
Fruit glabrous broadly triangular upper margin emargin- 
ate J inch across inch deep. 
Borneo, Sarawak, Matang (Hullett, Haviland 84, 
Ridley) at 2,000 ft. alt. Remarkable for its axillary 
inflorescence not secund, but simply cymose. It varies 
in size of leaf and amount of hairiness apparently 
according to habitat.

A herb or with somewhat woody stem, a foot tall, 
simple or with a few branches. Bark black when dry. 
Leaves lanceolate acuminate at both ends, occasionally 
ovate lanceolate, scabrid on both surfaces, especially on 
the midrib beneath, above fuscous, beneath when dry 
ochreous, nerves fine eleven pairs, 3J-4 inches long
