APOSTASIACEH OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. 239 
are also recorded in the same manner, it is reasonable to 
suppose that Mr. Power obtained these plants from the Malay 
Peninsula. 
D. Zollingerianum, Teysm. et Binn., seems from the 
description to be this species; and I suspect D. comatum, 
Lindl. (Desmotrichum comatum, Blume), is the same thing. If 
so, this is the oldest name for the species. There is a flowerless 
Specimen of what appears to be this in the Buitenzorg Herbarium, 
with the name Calyptranthera fimbriata, in Blume’s handwriting, 
a name never taken up as far as I know. 
The flowers have a faint scent of cowslips.

A common and somewhat variable plant, with for the section 
rather showy sweet-scented flowers. I imagine Reichenbach’s 
D. Flabellum is intended for this, but he says that that has 
three sinuate keels.
