According to a photograph of this plant as growing in the Ceylon Botanical 
Gardens, it has the habit of P. furcatus but with a much more slender stem, more 
erect branches, and narrower leaves. Inthe dried specimens, the spathes are much 
smaller, with long slender tips, the anthers much shorter, and the combined filaments 
very short. The fruit resembles P. fætidus, but the anthers are very different, about 
to in. long. 
5. P. minor, Ham. in Wall. Cat. 8592 ; dwarf, stem prostrate slender, 
leaves ensiform flat margins spinulose tips abruptly caudate, spathes
