I advance this as a species distinct from D. glabellus with hesitation ; it difor 
from that plant in the much larger more membranous leaves with longer peto es, tin 
more numerous stamens, the usually much narrower and longer very unequal rui 1 8 
sepals, and the fruit and seeds which are almost double the size. The plate o 
Anamallay plant given by Beddome in the Linnæan Transactions agrees with Lawianus- 
except in the fruiting sepals being in every instance equal, which they rarely are dv 
in the figures 10, 11, 12 of the male flower, which, if correct, indicate a wi 
different species, for the sepals are represented as free almost to the base, oblong with. 
a rounded dorsal gibbosity, and the corolla as having a broad entire tube aud 5 small 
recurved lobes; the male disk also is represented as glabrous. Figs. 14 and 15,. 
which are stated to be abnormal male flowers of Concan specimens, precisely accord 
with normal ones of D. Lawianus, except that the receptacle is glabrous. I susp 
that the calyx of figs. 10 and 12 is taken from a fem. flower, that fig. 12 is ovr 
and that the hairs on the receptacles of figs. 12 and 15 were overlooked. Beddom 
male and female specimens of the Anamallay plant in all respects agree with 
Concan ones. 
3. D. malayanus, Hook. f.; leaves 3-5 in. elliptic or elliptic-oblong 
obtusely acuminate, stamens about 10, ovary glabrous, fruiting perian 
about 1 in. diam., sepals broadly oblong subequal.
