n ornatus. BECCARI. THE SPECIES OF CALAMUS.—SUPPLEMENT. | 73 
198. (CALAMUS SPATHULATUS var. ROBUSTUS Bece. 
Add:—C. subspathulatus Ridley, Mat. Fl. Mal. Penins. ii, 194. 
OsskRvaTrIONS.— Ridley raises the variety of C. spathulatus with larger leaves and 
more robust spadices to the rank of a distinct species. E 
199. Caramus Martianus Bece. 
This name should be replaced by Calamus penicillatus Roxb. Fl. Ind. 
iii, 781 (printed pencillatus), Becc. in Ann. Roy. Bot. Gard. Calc. 
xi, 500. 
C. penangensis Ridley, Mat, Fl, Mal, Penins. ii, 192. 
OBSERVATIONS.—I have seen in the Herbarium of the British Museum the authentic 
specimen of C. penicillatus Roxb., which exactly corresponds to that of Gaudichaud 
named by me C. Martianus, and which is represented in plate 151 (see observa- 
tions to (C. javensis.  Ridley's €. penangensis is exactly Roxburgh’s €. penicillatus. 
130.  CaraMus INSIGNIS Griff, 
Add:—Ridley, Mat. Fl. Mal. Penins, ii, 193 (partly). 
OsseRVATION.—Ridley (l. c.) has united the ‘‘forma typica" of C. spathulatus Becc. 
to €. insignis Griff, and certainly several of the localities attributed by Ridley to 
the latter belong also to the former. I have nothing to add here to what I have 
already written (p. 365). In C. usignis the spines of the leaf-sheaths are horizontal, 
in C. spathulaius they are ascendent of a very unusual form and quite different from 
those of C. spathulatus (Compare plate 140, with plate 152). | 
131. CALAMUS ORNATUS var. PHILIPPINENSIS Becc. Add:—Becc. in Webbia di U. 
Martelli, i, 346, and in Philipp. Journ. Se. vi, 1911, 230.

already given add the following:—Luzon: Unisan, Prov. Tayabas, ©. Reyes No 2

Add:— 0, ornatus Ridley, Mat. Fl. Mal. Penins. ii, 195, excluding C. giganteus Becc.

C. ornatus Bl. I have not seen the specimens that represent C. giganteus in Ridley’s 
Ann. Roy. Bor. Garp. CALCUTTA, Vor. XI.
