mens. The Perak have internodes 2ł-34 in, long, fg in. diam., covered with white 
scurf, a 4-branched spidix, and the leaves minutely puberulous beneath. A very 
similar plant collected by Helfer in Burma (n. 6427) without flowers, in fruit, has 
broader leaflets with the nerves puberulous beneath.
