A species allied to Frcycinetia luzonensis Pre«], and to F. multiflora Merr., 
differing from tbe former in its longer leaves, longer and differently shaped 
syncarps which are more numerous, and from the latter in its shorter, fewer 
Syncarps and shorter leaves. It is the species previously determined by me as 
F. luzonensis Presl.*

Closely allied to the preceding, but apparently distinct. F. luzonensis, F. 
rohinsonii, and F. multiflora form a group of allied species, and additional material 
may lead to a different disposition of some of the specimens cited above.
