This agrees in many respects with Miquel's description (FL Ind. Bat. Supp. 420) of his species A. 

 Dadah, and it much resembles a leaf specimen so named in the Calcutta Herbarium, but the nerves of 

 the leaves join the midrib at a different angle. Miquel, moreover, describes the leaves of his Dadah as 



i 



k e basi rotwtdatis;" whereas, in this, the leaves are markedly attenuate at the base. It also appears to 

 approach the species which Miquel named Teysmanni.

The male receptacles of this are unknown. In foliage it resembles A. Kumtleri, but differs in its 



non-echinate female receptacle and in its much smaller leaves and stipules. I have seen no mature femal 



e 



receptacles. Those in my specimens are apparently a good way from maturity : they measure 25 in. in leugth 

 by 1*25 in. in diameter.
