Panicle congested nearly into one mass; beak conic, flattened, wliitened, 
nearly as long as the nut.

Cochin-China and the Andaman Islands. 
^ . I identified Uyo of the above plants with a species from the Aru Islands (as 
yet unpublished) ; but Merrill ]. c. says the Philippine plants cited above are 
all one species, and I consider that he is correct. 
3. Hypolytrum virldinux C. B. Clarke, ms. (1895) hb. Kew. 
Spicis parvis; stylo 2-fido; mice parva, matura viridi, reticukto- 
rugosa, rostro vix ullo albescente. 
Luzon, Montalban, (775 Loher); Benguct, (6223 Elmer). 
Borneo. 
i This species is allied to B. UtifoUum L. C. Rich., but has much smaller spikes 
[ and nuts. In the type (from Sandakan) the nuts are remarkably green. 
4. Hypolytrum Philippense C. B. Clarke, ms. (1887) hb. Kew. 
Panicnla composita, spiculis parvulis, numerosis, brunneis; ceteroquin 
lit H. latifolmm L. C. Eich. 
Luzon, Isabela, (3987 Yidal) ; Union, (779 Loher); Laguna, (5126 Merrill); 
Rizal, {77 Foxwor thy). Palawan, {744 Merrill), 
Endemic. 
This differs from H. liridinux in the very copious panicle; in the type (No. 
3987 Vidal) there are about GOO spikes. I have not seen the fruit.
