Malayan Peninsula, Singapore and Java, but not previously 

 recorded from Borneo. 



I have followed Schlechter (see M6m. Herb. Boiss. no. 21, p. 34) 

 in considering the peninsula plants on which Ridley founded his 

 species as conspecific with the Java specimens. The Bornean plants 

 are smaller, about 6 in. high, with leaves 2-3-5 cm. long by 7-8 mm. 

 broad. I can find no difference in the flowers. 



Globba affinis, sp. nov. Herba minor perennis erecta, folii 

 vagina angusta, saspe rubescente, plus minus pilosula, margine 

 superne ciliolata ; ligula breviter rotundata ciliolata ; lamina sub- 

 sessili, snbasymmetrico lanceolata, acuminata, iu facie superiore 

 pilosula vel glabrescente, in facie inferiore glabra ; panicula pedun- 

 culata brevi compacta, ramis patentibus plurifloris; bracteis ovatis; 

 calycis limbis triangularibus, subaequalibus ; corolla alba, tubo 

 gracili calycem triplo excedente, lobis cymbiformibus, stammodiis 

 his paullo longioribus, elliptico-oblongis ; labello spathulato-cuneato, 

 apice latissimo emarginato ; staminis filameuto angnste lineari, 

 anthera brevi rotundata, utrinque sub medio longe calcarata ; bacca 

 sessili, pisiformi, costata, glabra. 



Plants from 30 cm. high; leaf-blades 5-14*5 cm. long by 1*3- 

 3-3 cm. broad, sheath barely exceeding 2-5 mm. from back to front. 

 Panicle terminal, 2-5-5 cm. long, peduncle 9 cm. or less, branches 

 spreading or spreading-ascending, 3-5-1 cm. long, the longer ones 

 many-flowered; bracts 2-5-4-5 mm. long. Calyx-tube 3 mm. long, 

 segments 1 mm. Corolla-tube 13 mm. long, lobes 3 mm. ; stami- 

 nodia 4 mm. long; lip 7 mm. long by 4-5 mm. broad just below 

 the apex; filament 13 mm. long; anther 1 mm.; spur acuminate 

 from a triangular base, 2*5 mm. long. 



Evidently closely allied to G. brachijanthera K. Schum. (in Engl. 

 Jahrb. xxvii. 329), also from Borneo, but distinguished by its pilo- 

 sulose leaf-sheaths, dense inflorescence, uniformly narrow staminal 

 filament, and anther spurred from the sides, not from the base.
