leaves in Beccari’s specimen are smaller, more leathery and 
elliptic, but it is apparently specifically identical with the 
fine specimens collected by Dr. Haviland. 
Uvaria lanuginosa , n. sp. 
Stems, leaves, and flowers covered with an orange rusty 
tomentum, fugacious on the upper surface of the leaves. 
Leaves elliptic cuspidate, narrowed towards the base, but 
rounded at the base, 14 cm. long, 5 cm. wide; nerves seven 
or eight pairs, inarching within the margin ; petiole 12 mm. 
long. Flowers small, in extra-axillary racemes on pedicels 
5 mm. long. Bracts ovate to ovate lanceolate obtuse, 5 mm. 
long. Sepals ovate obtuse, 5 mm. long. Petals oblong 
obtuse, enlarged towards the tip, 1 cm. long. Stamens 
rather short oblong, with a rather large connective appen¬ 
dage. Carpels few, hairy; ovules in two rows, about six¬ 
teen. 
Sarawak, near Kuching (Haviland & Hose, 384 k). 
“ Petals pale.” 
Keadily distinguished by its orange tomentum on the 
leaves and stem, and small flowers.

Sarawak : Kejang Siku (Haviland, 2315)! Miri Biver, 
near Baram (Hose, 601, 112) ! Without locality (Bec- 
cari, 1760) ! 
British North Borneo: Kudat (Fraser, 85) ! Yar. gla- 
brata; Sinpouna (Creagh) ! 
Yar. racemiflora. 
S.E. Borneo: Dusun River (Korthals). 
British North Borneo : Tinkayo (Creagh) ! 
U. ovalifolia, BL, differs from U. macrophylla , Roxb., the 
most widely diffused of the genus, in its nearly glabrous 
leaves and flowers, which are covered with soft woolly hairs 
in U. macrophylla. 
I should be inclined to follow Miquel and Kurz in making 
it a variety only of that species. 
Miquel, Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. ii. 6, gives four varieties 
from Borneo, viz. normalis , acrantha , borneensis , and racemi¬ 
flora. 
Uvaria purpurea, Bl., Bijdr. 11. 
Yar. more tomentose than usual. 
Mt. Balaran and Pamatton (Korthals). 
British North Borneo : Tinkayo (Creagh).
