 Sundaiea as Blume understood it. No bruiting specimen of var. kajan, HI., has mini-

The cupules, which are at first ovoid-globular with entire mouths, become pyriform 

 as they grow (from the development of the glans). When ripe they are nearly hemi- 

 spheric, irregularly erose at the mouth, and sometimes slightly constricted at the base into 

 hort, thick peduncle. In M. De Candolle's herbarium there are put with typical 

 "induta some specimens without fruit of a form with longer, narrower, and more fulvou* 

 leaves; similar specimens occur also in the collection at Leiden. These
