APOSTASIACE® OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. 229 
bosses, which might easily be overlooked in dry specimens. 
The flowers are coloured exactly as in JZ. elegans, Lindl., and 
a big clump, with numerous nodding racemes of the very small 
flowers, is really very elegant. It grows usually on very lofty 
trees.
