This differs in its very small dimensions from all the other 
species of the genus, except the Indian B. Hookeriana, Hemsl. 
(Kew Bull. 1894, p. 102), which is even smaller.

North India, in the Sikkim Himalaya and Khasia mountains, 
Specimens in the Kew Herbarium from the Luchu archipelago 
(Wright, 317 and 318) probably belong to this species. 
7. Balanophora ? 
CurNa : without locality (Swinhoe!). Mus. Kew. 
This is a very distinct plant, and may be the type ofa new genus ; 
but the material is insufficient to determine this point. It has 
a large tuber-like rugose caudex about 4 inches in diameter, 
with large crowded bracts at the base of the stout peduncle, which 
is floriferous throughout; and the male flowers are densely 
packed and pedicellate, with a four-lobed perianth and a short 
androecium.
