MALACCA (from the interior), Griffith. 



A very little-known plant. Griffith describes the leaves as resembling those of 

 Z. laciniosa, but with less deep more obtuse incisions ; the spadix as covered with 

 long smooth spathes with lacerate mouths ; spikes (immature) a span long by in. 

 diam. ; lateral pedicels plano-convex, bearing a long spathe about the middle, which 

 reaches the base of the spike ; bracteae broad, longer than the dense wool. 



** Ochrea not inflated. 



5. K. laciniosa, Mart. Hist. Nat. Palm. iii. 212; leaflets rhomboid 

 ovate or trapezoid aboub as long as broad acutely erosely toothed, ochrea 

 dilacerate sparingly armed, spikes tomentose. Kurz in Journ. As. Soc.
