AROIDE Æ. 
ARISEMA RUWENZOIuCUM, V. Е. Br. in Dyer, Fl. Trop, Afr. viii. 143. 
E. 10,000 ft. April. 
Originally collected by Scott Elliot on Ruwenzori at 7000 to 8000 ft. in 
the forest at Kivata. 
The specimen is of interest in view of an uncertainty as to the nature of the 
leaf. Mr. Elliot's specimens, to which our knowledge of the species has 
hitherto been restricted, comprise an inflorescence with some unattached 
leaves, one of them with a pedate arrangement of the leaflets, the 
other with radiating leaflets. Mr. Brown says (l. e.) : ** Both leaves may 
possibly belong to the inflorescence, but more complete material is needed 
to decide, as I have never seen a species of Arisema having both 
radiating and pedately arranged leaflets ; such a difference has hitherto 
been considered of sectional value." In Dr. Wollaston's specimen the 
leaf has pedately arranged leaflets and is attached to the inflorescence. 
CULCASIA scANDENS, Beuur. Fl. Owar. i. 4. t. 3.
