A very large perennial, sub-parasitical species, so much like Dra- 
contium pertusum, that they may be readily taken for the same plant; 
It is a native of the mountainous parts of the Coast of Coromandel, 
running up, and over the highest trees, to which it adheres.like fiy 
by roots issuing from the joints. 
Leaves alternate, petioled, cordate, smooth, generally verla 
with linear oblong holes on one side, and on the other passing 
through the margins as in the pinnatifid leaves ; their length trom 
twelve to eighteen incbes long.— Petioles nearly as long as tie. 
leaves, deeply channelled, wanting the stipule-like processes at the 
‘apex, which Miller's figure represents, in which parucular this plant, 
differs from that in the first instance.—Scape short.—Spathe gib- 
bous, pointed, a little longer than the spadix, cylindric, obtuse, every 
where covered with the fructifications—Coro/ nowe.—Luaments 
intermixed amongst the germs, (the number to each germ cannot be, 
determined, but I think about four,) compressed ; apex bifid, An. 
thers oval, two to each filament.—Pistils mixed with the membra- 
naceous filaments, four-sided, lobed. Style none. Stigma, a knob 
on the centre of the lobed germ.

Found in forests in the Malay countries, rooting up and ramming 
over trees of great size, It is readily distinguished from my d 
siva, by the abundance of brown fibres which are found on the os 
shoots, and the lower part of the petioles.
