Apparently a specimen with male spadices, from Abulug River, 
Cagayan Province, Luzon, For. Bur. 1 1625 Fischer also belongs 
to C. microcarpus. 
CALAMUS MICROCARPUS Bece. var. DIMINUTUS Bece. var. nov. 
Very slender, sheathed stem 8 to 10 mm in diameter. Leaves 
with very narrowly linear, very long-acuminate, very inequi- 
distant, and more or less distantly grouped leaflets, the latter 
4 to 5 mm wide. Spadix very short. Fruit globular, 8 mm in 
diameter.

I am uncertain if we have to do with a case of occasional 
slenderness of Calamus microcarpus or with a really distinct 
and constant variety or even a subspecies of it. Very similar 
to the preceding specimen is another, which is a little larger 
and with a male spadix. The sheathed stem is 11 mm in dia- 
meter; the leaflets are 5 to 6 mm wide. Kabibihan, Tayabas
