MR. R. A. ROLFE ON THE APOSTASIEE. 239 
Ovary 4 lin. long. Perianth-segments 12 lin. long. Capsule 
4 in. long. 
Readily distinguished from the following species by its broader 
leaves and more robust habit, also by the more linear perianth- 
segments and narrower anthers. The ovary is more sessile than 
in any other species.

Plant 2-3 ft. high. Racemes 2 in. long, elongating in fruit. 
Ovary 4 lin. long. Perianth-segments 1j lin. long. Capsule 
4 in. long. 
A more slender plant than the preceding, with narrower leaves, 
more lanceolate perianth-segments, and broader anthers. In 
fruit it may be readily distinguished from A. Wallichii, R. Br., 
by the narrower leaves, and racemes with numerous imbricating 
bracts at the base. 
Doubtful Species. 
F. Villar, in Blanco, Fl. Filip. ed. 8, Nov. App. p. 251, enu- 
merates :— 
A. odorata, Blume, from San Mateo, Island of Luzon ; but as 
I have seen no specimen, and as the species is otherwise only 
recorded from Java, I prefer to consider the determination as 
requiring confirmation. 
A., sp.—A. plant in the Kew Herbarium, from “ Deep shady 
jungle, Labuan, Motley, n. 95," very closely resembles A. styli- 
dioides, Reichb. f., in general appearance, though I believe it to 
be a distinct species. It is, however, just passing out of flower, 
and much too imperfect for description. The material is not 
sufficient to show even to which section it belongs.
