Hab. Ceylon. Willdenoiv. Dr. Emerson. — This is distin- 

 guished from the other species of this groupe by its more cor- 

 date and margined leaves, by the beautifully ciliated scales of 

 the spike, and by the larger ones being conduplicate.

Minimum, vage ramosum, radiculosum, foliis remotis ellip- 

 ticis acutis pulcherrime i-eticulatis sessilibus margine superne

 minoribus ovatis acutis I'eticulatis denticulatis. 



Hab. Mountains of Ava. Dr. Wallich. — This, of which 

 only a single specimen exists in our collection, was gathered 

 along with L. tetragonostachyum. {Wall. Cat. n, 124.) It is 

 scarcely two inches in length, vaguely branched, the leaves 

 lax, membranaceous, diaphanous and more reticulated than 

 any we are acquainted with in the whole genus. The spikes 

 are large in proportion to the size of the plant, being nearly 

 half an inch long ; the greater scales have a ciliated lamina 

 attached to the nerve ; the lesser, or stipular ones, are cordato- 

 acuminate, strongly ciliated, and of a bright golden colour.
