Hab. Madagascar. [WUldenow.) Dr. Lyall^ " w. 255, and 

 269." — In one specimen in our possession, communicated by 

 Professor Mertens from the Herbarium of Jussieu, the stipules 

 are ovato-lanceolate; whilst in several others, communicated 

 by Dr. Lyall, they are much smaller and lanceolato-subulate.

Hab. Demerara. Mr. Parker. — One of the most elegant 

 and distinct of this groupe, and known to us only as an 

 inhabitant of Guiana, whence it has been sent to us by our 

 friend, Mr. Parker. It is very possible that it may have been 

 confounded, at least by Lamarck, with the L. pectinatum ; for 

 he mentions a variety from the warmer parts of South 

 America ; but it assuredly does not agree with the species 

 under that name, as first described by Willdenow.
