alaribus, aggregatis.” Roxburgh’s drawing of the plant at Kew shows the 
remarkable character of the coronula and his description in * Flora Indica,’ 
iii. p. 564, could hardly belong to any other species. 
The distribution of N. furcata seems to be a restricted one. It is at 
present known from India, Ceylon, Malay Archipelago, and Philippine 
Islands, but N. japonica Allen, from Japan, and N. guineensis Kütz., from 
W. Africa, are apparently nearly related thereto.

Both these plants belong to Braun’s section Polyarthrodactyla and agree 
in the main with the Australian N. myriotricha, having 2-3-celled dactyls 
with allantoid-mucronate apical cells, being dicecious, and having the female 
plant forming small fruiting heads enveloped in mucus. There are, however, 
some minor points of difference between the Australian plant and those from 
India, as well as between the Indian plants themselves. Further specimens 
of both the latter are desirable in order to arrive at a satisfactory deter- 
mination.
