Has. Courtalam. Dr. Wight——Plant 6-8 inches high, 
remarkable for its extremely thin, pellucid, flaccid leaves, 
and for the small size of its stipules. The colour is a dull 
green, much paler beneath. At the extremities of many of 
the branches are what appear to be oblong gemme of a red 
colour and very compact substance, externally imbricated with 
scales, which are incorporated with the part they envelope.

Has. Mountains of Penang. Dr. Wallich.—Allied as this 
Species is to Z, subdiaphanum, it is yet unquestionably 
distinct. The stems are a foot to a foot and a half high, of 
à glossy yellow-orange colour and rigid: the leaves smaller 
m proportion, very acute, with the sharp points, when dry, 
reflexed; spikes narrower. Our specimens were communi- 
cated along with da argenteum.—( Wall. Cat. n. 127.)
