X. c. 5 Merrill: Philippine Plants, XII 307 



The species is apparently most closely allied to Nepenthes copelandii 

 Merr., of Mindanao, differing, however, in many characters. It resembles 

 Nepenthes alata Blanco, at least the form I take to be a juvenile stage, 

 but the type number has quite wingless pitchers. Good differential charac- 

 ters are its comparatively short capsules and its short-petioled flowers, 

 together with its very obscurely nerved leaves, the lateral nerves, at times, 

 being quite obsolete.

I have examined the following extra- Philippine material: Penang, 

 Curtis Ha, 147, Ridley s. n. Malay Peninsula, Setul, Ridley 1503. 

 Borneo, Sarawak, Tabuan, Native collector 784 Bureau of Science. 



I think that there can be no doubt as to the validity of Korthals's genus, 

 which is well figured by Boerlage and Koorders 1. c. The species and 

 genus were based on material collected in Borneo by Korthals, and as 

 Boerlage and Koorders explain, were joined by Miquel* with Diemenia 

 racemosa Korth. to form the genus Trichorcarya Miq. Later Miquel 

 himself* separated the two genera, which, as Boerlage and Koorders note,^ 

 has been overlooked by later authors. Bentham and Hooker f.' retain 

 Miquel's Trichocarya with two species, and Focke ' maintains the genus 

 Angelesia with 2 or 3 species. Trichocarya splendens Miq., the type of 

 the genus Trichocarya, is identical with Angelesia splendens Korth., but 

 Miquel's second species, Trichocarya ? racemosa Miq. (Diemenia racemosa 

 Korth.) is, according to Boerlage and Koorders, identical with the earlier 

 Parastemx>n urophyllus A. DC. 



The only synonym I have added to flhe list given by Boerlage and 

 Koorders is Parinarium nitidum Hook, f., which is manifestly identical 

 with Korthals's species. Hooker cites in the original description "Malacca, 

 Griffith, Maingay (Herb. Kew 619) .-Distrib. Borneo;" King, among other 

 specimens, cites "Griffith 2047/1 ;" while Boerlage and Koorders cite in their 

 discussion Griffith 2047, and a part of their plate, the fruiting specimen, 

 is drawn from Griffith's specimen. Hooker himself indicated Parinarium 

 nitidum as the type of an unnamed subgenus. King includes the species
