28 MR. G. D. HAVILAND: REVISION OF THE NAUCLEEZS. 
Mergui, nor from Borneo, and only one doubtful specimen not in flower 
from Sumatra. It occurs in Cochin China, in the Philippines, in Celebes, 
and in Java; but from these islands I have seen only glabrous specimens. 
In the Philippines the specimens have very coriaceous stipules, and gra- 
duate into the much larger form described as S. glaberrimus. The Javan 
specimens can usually be distinguished from both the Ceylon and the 
Burmah specimens, but they are very variable: occasionally they re- 
semble the Philippine specimens and have very coriaceous stipules ; more 
often they approach the Australian forms, which often have longer leaves 
from 9-1l-nerved. In the Moluccas and New Guinea the species seems 
to be replaced by the forms described under S. undulatus. The sub- 
division into species of the section of the genus to which S. cordatus 
belongs is indeed not yet altogether satisfactory. I have therefore tried 
to follow Miquel. 
In respect of the ovaries there seems to be some variation. Beddome 
(Fl. Syl t. 318) says that “ when the fruit is ripe the upper seeds 
become erect," probably he meant to say that in some fully ripe specimens 
he found the upper seeds erect, as in S. esculentus and Anthocephalus. 
Bentham (Fl. Austral. iii. p. 402) describes the seeds of S. cordatus 88 
solitary or two superposed. In one Australian specimen which I examined 
there were several pendulous seeds imbricating downwards; it might be 
easy for these to be reduced by abortion, but if they ever become super- 
posed as in S. esculentus the fact would be interesting. Roxburgh says 
that the placenta is attached to the partition a little above its middle, 
that the ovules are numerous and imbricated, but that most of them 
abort, and there are only a few oblong imbricated seeds. 
3. SARCOCEPHALUS GLABERRIMUS, Mig. 
Typus in Herb. Haenke. 
Folia 35 em. longa, 24 em. lata, ovata, apice obtusa, basi

Petioli 25 mm.  Stipule 35 mm., ovate, valde coriacesm. Ped- 
unculi 4 cm., crassi. Capitula (sine corollis) 925 mm. Calycis

Matasta.—Celebes (Teysmann, n. ?). Philippines (Vidal, n. 2957). 
The extreme specimens of this form are very different from the Ceylon 
forms of 5. cordatus ; but it seems likely that almost all the intermediate 
forms can be found in the Philippine Islands. I have not seen the type 
specimen, which is in Herb. Haenke.,
