154 AROIDES. 
Found near the summit of the highest part of Pulo Bissar, 
all in one place. H. Minus occurred near it; are these distinct ? 
The spatha are less beaked in this species than in H. 
Minus. Aroidee Malayne. 
3. Homalonema roshalum. Petiolis 14 pedalibus basi vagi- 
nantis, ultra medium canaliculato-marginatis, supra teretibus. 
Lamina 15 pedale, coriacea atro-virida, obliqua, elongato- 
lanceolata, decurvata, parce sed late undulata, venis primar. 
infra promineis, lateral. obliquis apice leniter arcuatis. 
Pedunculis petiolis 4 brevioris, sursum paullo incrassatis, 
viridio-lineata. Spadix et spatha arcuata subspitham:ea, spatha 
convolutissime apicem versus subhians, viridia carnosa, foliacea 
margine albo, this margin is exceedingly convolute, taking 
4 of a whole turn more than usual. 
Spadix leviter arcuatus, basi nudus, tunc succedunt ovaria 
corporibus albus, globoso-capitatus immixtus, quarum infimo 
sine ordine evidente, superiora 1, subtus pistillum quodque. 
Ovaria angulato-globosa. Stylo sub o. Stigma discoideum very 
large of 3 or 4 sulcate depressions, gibba. summa ovarium dif- 
formia. Superne spatha breve nudiuscula. Pistilla summa en- 
siformia et antherze infimze, glandulis corporibusve pistillis im- 
mixtis consimilia tunc anthere fertile in groups of 3-5, connec- 
tiva albo-canosa, cuneata, apicibus interdum submucronta, lo- 
culis adnatis. 
Pistilla 3-4 locularia placentis in axin adnatis, ovules fixed to 
the margins of each placenta, numerous, hammer-shaped, 
the long funicle making the head of the hammer, $ anatropa, 
the foramen pointing away from the place where the funnel is 
attached to the seed. 
Such a form might arise from the increased growth of the 
base, and hence be connected with an antitropous ovule. 
The cells of the anthers open I think, longitudinally, but 
these appearances are obscure. Pollen diaphanous, smooth, 
some thing like Naiad pollen, but with a more distinct coat. 
Aromata generis.
