I am indebted to Mons. Gagnepain for kindly confirming this 

 determination, but I must at the same time admit that 1 do not 

 know what Blume's P. brachystachys is. P. aurata is certainly very 

 near to if not quite identical with the P. brachystachys of the Mat. 

 Mai. Pen. but whether King rightly identified his plant with 

 Blume's the material at Kew is insufficient to decide.
