I now consider the Philippine plant which I previously had referred to C 
Uookerianus, to belong to a distinct species. Specimens of true Calamus Booker- 
ianu^ have recently been collected by Mr. A. ^^Teebold in the forests of Kandy, 
Ceylon; there is, therefore, no ground to doubt that the type specimens of the 
species had not really been collected in Courtallum, as several species of plants 
growing in Ceylon are also found in southern India.
