Hab. Java. Desvaux. — Desvaux remarks that this species 

 differs from his L. caudatum chiefly by its oval and shorter 

 leaves. 



106. L. Wallichii. Hook, et Grev. 



Caule erecto tereti-angulato inferne nudo aphyllo superne 

 bipinnatim pulcherrime plumoseque ramoso, foliis inferiori- 

 bus remotis squamiformibus appressis reliquis pectinatim 

 horizontaliter patentibus rigidis subcoriaceis ovato-oblongis 

 falcatis acutis basi brevissime auriculatis integerrimis, stipu- 

 lis folio triplo minoribus acuminatissimis falcatis imbricato- 

 patulis basi inaequaliter cordatis subauriculatis, spicis elon- 

 gatis laxis. — L. elegans. Wall. Cat. n. 128. (non Desv.) 



Hab. Penang and Singapore. Dr. Wallich. — We have 

 much pleasure in dedicating this very graceful species to 

 our excellent friend, Dr. Wallich. It is indeed a most dis- 

 tinct one. The primary branches are elongated, and so 

 closely set with other branches as to resemble a feather. 

 The branchlets are simple, beautifully and regularly pec- 

 tinated with leaves. 



107. L. argenteum. Wall. Cat. n. 127. 



Caule erecto superne tripinnatim ramoso, pinnis primariis 

 elongatis flaccidis, foliis fere horizontalibus subimbricatis 

 oblongis paululum falcatis acutis obscure et late nervosis 

 integerrimis basi superne ciliatis subtus argenteo-nitentibus 

 nervo albido, stipulis ovato-cuspidatis minute denticulatis 

 basi inaequaliter auriculato-cordatis barbatis, spicis ? 



Hab. Mountains of Penang. Dr. Wallich. — This has 

 somewhat the habit o^ L.Jlahellatum, but is far more flaccid 

 and more delicately pectinated with leaves.
