T. crenatwn. — Schott, Prod. p. 103. — T. crenatum, var. rostratum, 

 Engler in DC. Monog. Phanerog. ii. p. 607 (excluding syn. Arum 

 crenatum, "Wight). Madras (Wightl). 



The restitution of the above species renders it necessary to 

 change the name of T. Wightii, Engler, for which I substitute the 

 following : — 



Theriophonum ineaustttm, N. E. Br. — T. "Wightii, Engler in 

 DC. Monog. ii. p. 608, nan Schott. — Calyptrocoryne "Wightii, Schott 

 in Oesterr. lot. WocTienbl. 1857, p. 262 ; Prod. p. 105 ; Gen. Avoid. 

 t. 16. India (Paulghautcherry, August 1844, Wight, no. 2775 Kew 

 distribution !). 



Typhonium, Schott. 



T. PEDATT7M, Schott in Oesterr. hot. Wochenbl. 1857, p. 262 ; 



Prod, p. 108. 



Petiolus 7 poll, longus. Lamina pedatisecta, segmentis 7 subdistantibus 

 lanceolatis acuminatis basi angustatis, 4 poll, longis, 8-9 lin. latis, ex- 

 timis minoribus. Pedur cuius If poll, longus. Spatha 2 T poll, longa, 

 acuminata. Spadix spatha brevior; ovariis oblongo-ovoidiis, uniovu-

 polycyclis, omnibus filiformibus, interstitii partem inferiorem tantum

 Pegu (McLellandl). 



Engler appears to have misunderstood this species ; the plant 

 he describes as T. pedatum, in DC. Monog. Phanerog. ii. p. 613, 

 is the BZeterostalis pedata of Schott, which name Engler gives as 

 a synonym of Typhonium pedatum. I have not seen Heterostctlis 

 pedata, Sch. ; but, to judge from the description, it must be very 

 different from Typhonium petfatum. 



Schott founded his T. pedatum upon a flowering specimen 

 collected by Dr. McLelland in Pegu and some fruiting specimens 

 collected by Sir J. D. Hooker in Sikkim ; but these latter are 

 different from the Pegu plant ; and being incomplete, I deem it 

 best to consider the Pegu plant the sole type of the species : 

 therefore I have given the above description of it. 



The Sikkim plant has also been collected by Mr. C. B. Clarke, 

 no. 26708, Darjeeling, 7500 feet, but only in a fruiting state ; so 

 that until flowering specimens are obtained it cannot be fully de- 

 scribed. For the Javan plant I propose the following name : — 



T. (§Heterostalis) falt.ax, N. E. Br. — T. pedatum, Engl, in
