This resembles a slender narrow leaved small-flowered state of R, Tnoluccanus, 

 t^ ?^^ ^t once be distinguished by the narrow leaves, lobed on each side towards 

 tHe base only. The flowers are small (^ in. diara.) usually in loose panicles, the sti- 

 pules and bracts laciniate.— I have seen in Mr. Clarke's collection a small specimen 

 yery hke this from the Khasia Mts., alt. 4500 ft., but it is so difficult to distinguish 

 imperfect specimens of this from the paniculatus and moluceanuSy var. micropetalus, 

 tiiat I hesitate to include the habitat of Khasia.
