This species was so identified by the late C. B, darken but omitted from 
liis list of. Philippine Cyperaceae.^ Mr. ChirJce obsenes that the specimen 
might be the closely allied .1/. multispicata, but it agrees well with Xo. 11476 
Ridley from Singapore, determined by Clarke as M. kurzii, and also with the 
description of that species.

This species is i-atlier abundant in the Visayau Islands and was observed 
by the author at several localities on the east coasts of Samar and Mindanao in 
October, 1906. It is extensively cultivated in some places, notably Borongan, 
and probably does not occur strictly wild in the Philippines. At Borongan 
and other places where it was observed it was grown in ravines in coconut groves, 
the petioles often being 8 feet in length and 3 to 4 inches in diameter and the 
leaf-blades 5 feet in length. The genus is new to the Philippines.
