The leaves of each row are imbrieated, consequently arianged 

 regulaiiy in a plane, as in L. nummularifolium BL 



In pressed herbarium material only the différence in size 

 between latéral and intermedial leaves may be seen, therefore 

 the original position of the leaves is not a very évident character 

 for the séparation of this species, unless the leaves take again 

 their natural position when a fragment of the plant is boiled up. 

 However, on boiling up a spécimen the leaves do not always 

 assume their original position. 



According to Pritzel (Engl. k Prantl., Nat. Pfl. fam., R 599) 

 L. phlegmarioides and L. pseudo-phlegmaria differ in the pro- 

 portions of the leaves and spikes. At any rate, I think that L. 

 pseudo-phlegmaria is only a form of L. phlegmarioides. — Plants 

 occurring in the Buitenzorg Herbarium, gathered in New Guinea 

 and received as L. phlegmarioides (Hollrung No. 700) and L. 

 pseudo-phlegmaria (Schlechter No. 14265) show no différence 

 except in the texture of the leaves which may readily be due 

 only to habitat. Those gathered in Bornéo and Amboina approach 

 L. phlegmaria L. in having the leaves of the lower part of the 

 stem 5 — 6-farious but in aspect they are quite différent from it.
