C. viminalis) .  BECCARI. MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS CALAMUS. 503 
Description.—‘‘ Scandent. Leaves flagelliferous (= cirriferous, Beccari); leaflets 
few, remote, equidistant, lanceolar, five-nerved. Spines distinct, few, short and 
strong; spadix decompound.”  ( Roxburgh l. c.) 
j Hasrrat.—India, in Silhet. “ Hurnur-gullar, the vernacular name in Silhet, where 
this species is found running over trees to a great extent; the rattan when cleaned 
is about as thick as a man’s finger throughout, and the joints from six to eight 
inehes long.” (Roxburgh 1. o.) 
OssERvATIONS.— Probably under the name of C, quinquenervius lurks a very well- 
known species, not easy to recognize in the short deseription given by its ‘author. 
Of the species of Calamus growing in the country surrounding Silhet I know only 
C. nambariensis with cirriferous leaves and relatively broad 5-vostate equidistant leaf- 
lets; all the other species with 5-costate leaflets having these more or less approxi- 
mate in pairs on each side of the rachis. Some forms of C. palustris ( v. amplissimus 
for instance ) have subequidistant leaflets, but I have not seen representatives of this 
species collected in Silhet. 
15. Catamus vergus Blanco, Fl. de Filip. (first edit.) i, 210 (excl syn. 
Rumph. ). 
i OssERVATIONSs.—Apparently a species of Daemonorops, certainly different from the 
Palmijuncus verus angustifolius of Rumph., which seems to me a true Calamus 
(€. Rumphii Bl.).

Hist, Nat, Palm. iii, 336 (with ©. buroensis ); ; Miq. Fl. Ind. Bot. iii 
122; Kunth, Enum. Pl. iii, 205. 
Palmijuncus viminalis ambulans Rumph Herb. Amb., v, 109. 
Haprrat.—Buru in the Moluceas and the not distant small islands of Kelang 
and Bonoa. In Bonoa it received the name of “Ua Wuay” according to Rumph, 
Oxsrrvations.—Probably it is a species very distinct, but not recognisable in the 
very short and vague description left by Rumph. I do not see any reason for 
considering it to be a variety of C. viminalis.
