. I have great difficulty in distinguishing this from P. Notoniana (in the Khasia 

 •■Itfi. especially), its best character is the very short petiole and uniformly oblanceolate 

 jailer leaves 3-5 in. long. In the Himalaya it is very constant in its characters, 

 ^t m the Khasia Mts. it comes very near small states of Notoiiianaj var. ma^ropfiylla. 

 •uence though no foliage of allied plants can be more unlike in form than the ordinary 

 rtates of this plant present, I am in doubt as to their specific diiFerences. P. integri- • 

 Ma, Miquel (Fl. Ind. Bat. i. part i. 387), from Java, appears to be the same plant. 

 -Ihe styles are almost invariably two, but three are said to occur. The crown of the 

 <^ry is woolly, but of the fruit glabrous.
