work he called it D, Туапойогтей, but he afterwards published the Andaman plant or a 
new species distinguished thus (see Journ, Ав, Soc. Beng. xlii 249.) “spiculis multo 
"minoribus, pallidis (nee brunneis), foliis multo majoribus et ligulà vaginarum differt." 
After careful examination of the specimens, however, I cannot think that the Andaman 
plant is anything more than a variety. Kurz gives the Andamanese name as 
Baradahbarat, and Ridley's Perak specimens bear the name Виш Akar. Tjankorreh is 
the Java name.
