sidered identical, are preserved in the Herbarium of the 
latter, now at Kew.  Micholitz also collected plants appa- 
rently of the same species in Sumatra, and carefully noted 
the peduncles as being 1-flowered, and all the four present 
are in this condition. Having regard to these facts it is 
difficult to regard all these forms as one spécies, and the 
species of this affinity certainly require careful revision from 
living specimens, or at all events from more complete 
material than is yet available.
