Calamus niger (non Willd.) J. Braun and K. Schum. in Mitth. Deutsch 
Schutzgeb. ii (1889) 147 ex. Wright in Fl. Trop. Afri. viii, (1902), 109, (excl, syn, 
omn.) from the Cameroons in Upper Guinea. I have not seen the type specimen

peduncle, and as the leaves are said to have a cirriferous rachis furnished with 
uncinate spines, the species certainly cannot be a Calamus or a Deemonorops, but 
it possibly corresponds to Oncocalamus Manni Drude,

In regard to the length of the stem attained by certain species of Calamus 
Sir W. T. Thiselton-Dyer kindly points out to me that in the Museum No. II

times and is 369 ft. or 110 m, 70 cms. long; the other is 160 ft. or 48 m. 
(Guide to Museum Kew, p. 36). 
About the origin of these specimens I asked the present Director of the Kew 
Gardens, Sir David Prain, who informs me that he believes that the shorter
