in having a few basal male flowers, suggests that the female 
flowers may also be abnormal in having staminodes in place o 
hypogynous scales, and in being provided with an extrastaminodial 
ying of receptacular glands of the male type. Except that the 
leaves are crenate in place of denticulate, and that the stamens are 
9 instead of 12, E. Poggeophyton, apart from its disk characters, 
differs but slightly from /. subspicata.

Hemsley referred most of these specimens to P. arillata in_his 
Enumeration (Journ, Linn. Soc. xxvi. 59), but noted that they might 
possibly represent a different species. That this is actually the 
case I have no doubt after seeing wild trees with their remarkably 
long drooping terminal racemes.
