Chiengmai, Doi Sootep, 540 m., Kerr, 1076. 
The writer has seen only two sheets of P. pilifera—the type 
specimen in the Wallichian herbarium and one collected by Collett 
(P. lanuginosa, Coll. et Hemsl., Journ. Linn. Soc., xxviii. p. 67, non 
Wall.). Both are fruiting specimens and Kerr’s specimens—also i in 
fruit—differ from the type in the rather narrower more parallel- 
sided leaves, the somewhat larger fruit crowned by the suberect 
not reflexed sepals.
