Chiengmai, Doi Sootep, 540 m., Kerr, 1076. 



The writer has seen only two sheets of P. pilifera the type 

 specimen in the Wallichian herbarium and one collected by Collett 

 (P. lanuginosa, Coll. et Hemsl., Journ. Linn. Soc., xxviii. p. 67, non 

 Wall.). Both are fruiting specimens and Kerr's specimens also in 

 fruit differ from the type in the rather narrower more parallel- 

 sided leaves, the somewhat larger fruit crowned by the suberect 

 not reflexed sepals.
