 iucurvatae. Rami inferiorcs s;epc procumbcntcs, liamis et spinis ai'mati." 



I have already stated, at p. 102, that it is possible that this may be the same as B. Blu- 

 meana ; but that certainly does not ever appear to be so " horridly spinous " as this 

 species is described to be.

 Hab. in Amboina, Cerama, Molucca, Java, Rumph. ; an Java (" Tring Djawa " ! incolis) ? Horsfield. v. s. 

 T have, at p. 100, quoted this as a probable synonym of B. balcooa, but I do not feel 

 certain of its identity. Schultcs has quoted it under B. arnndinacea ; and Miquel thinks 

 it may be the same as B. vulgaris. Loureiro quotes it as a synonym of his Arundo 

 bambos, which, however, he describes as having " folia parva." Some siiecimens, in leaf 

 only, in Llorsfield's herbarium, marked "Tring djawa," agree very well with the prece- 

 ding description. Miquel, /. c. 416, identifies " Djawa" with B. verticillata, Blume.
