Van Alderwerelt van RosenburQH: Malayan Araceae 2. 217 



staminodes elongate-oblong, the lower rotundate, the higher rounded at 

 the apex, and ail minutely 3— Q-pitted at the tip. 



The description of the leaves is taken partly from fresh, partly from 

 dried material, of the flower from alcohol material, ail from plants cultivated 

 in the Buitenzorg Gardens. — It is to be observed that the alcohol material 

 has the stalks of the lower staminodes, the neuter organs, the filaments, the 

 apices of the anthers and the higher staminodes provided with dark points 

 or shortly longitudinal stripes, as is drawn in EnGLER's figure.

The description is taken from living and dried material besides alcohol 

 material of a spécimen cultivated in the Buitenzorg Gardens, flowering {une 

 1920. The alcohol material has the spadix becoming at length equally 

 dark-brown, nearly black, without dark points or stripes on the différent 

 organs. — Distinguished by the many very long staminodes of the féminine 

 inflorescence.
