In 7. Zippeliana, Miq., ovarium fide Zippelii 4-loculare dicitur ; in specimine tamen Ámboinense 
a Zippelio lecto et ex Herb. Lugd. Bat. sub nomine 7. paima£e communicato (ab hac specie tamen 
certe diverso) quod 7' Zippeliane typicum censemus ovarium 8-10-loeulare, loculis tamen nonnullis

T. Sundaica, Regel, Gartenfl. 1864. t. 438, cum speciminibus homonymis  Miquelianis haud con- 
venit. Est evidenter species distincta, cujus folia accepimus e Malacca et Penang, cujus temen nec 
flores nec fructus vidimus ; insignis est foliis imperfecte digitatis nempe foliolis 3 centralibus supra 
basin dilatatam truncatam in petiolulum contractis subarticulatisque, lateralibus cum basi continuis. 
' PanaPANAX, Miq. FI. Ind. Bat. Suppl. i. 338, quoad P. littoralem, ex charactere dato a Trevesia 
non differt nisi foliis perfecte digitatim compositis. Specimen typicum non vidimus, species tamen 
Javanica forte eadem adest in Herb. Hook., foliis digitatis, floribus 10-12-meris. P. sessilis, Miq., 
est verisimiliter Brassaice species.

Trevesia non differt nisi foliis pinnatis, In A. Sandwicense, styli conus brevissimus est, qualis in 
T. palmata ineunte anthesi observatur.  R. pleiosperma, a nobis non visa, differre dicitur ovarii
