There are magnificent native specimens of the foliage 
of Z. Wallisii in the Kew Herbarium, collected by Kal- 
breyer, with leaflets eighteen inches long and five to nine 
broad, and petiolule two and a half to three ‘inches - 
lorig; they were collected at Cinegetas or Minegetas (a 
place I do not find in any map or gazeteer) at an elevation 
of 4-4,500 feet. There is also in the Kew Herbarium a 
sketch, made by Professor Hichler, of a leaflet received 
from Veitch, which is oblanceolate, twenty inches long by 
four and three-quarters broad; and of another seventeen 
inches by ten and a half, elliptic with a cordate base © 
and very stout petiolule four inches ‘long. | 
The plant from which our figure was taken was presented 
by Messrs. Veitch in 1888, and flowered in May, 1889.
