Dr. Blume. Sylhet? Dr. Wallich. 
I have long possessed this plant from Dr. Wallich, but no 
particular station was given with the specimen, nor do I find it 
named in the extensive ‘ Catalogue” of that distinguished author. 
It agrees so well with the D. cordifolium ‘of Blume, that I do 
not hesitate about retaining the above name: indeed one of my 
two specimens is shorter and more cordate at the base than that 
here given. In both, the lower part of the stipes is wanting: 
what remains is more than a foot long, smooth, but not glossy; 
grooved on the upper side. Frond 6 to 8 inches in length, ovate 
or oblongo-subcordate, in one instance proliferous at the base, 
between membranaceous and coriaceous, slightly repand at the 
margin, entire, glabrous: the parallel almost transverse dicho- 
tomous veins beneath almost wholly covered with fructifications, 
having on each side a slender continuous involucre.
