CONTAINING DESCRIPTIONS OF FOUR ADDITIONAL SPECIES. 
ARUNDINARIA PANTLINGI, п. зр. Gambie. 
An erect shrub. Culms tall, smooth, at least “б in. in diameter, slightly hairy below 
the nodes which bear a softly hairy ring formed by the base of the fallen sheath, 
internodes at least 7 to 8 in. long, cavity large.  Culm-sheaths rather thick and tough 
about 10 in. long, smooth, striate, long-ciliate on the edges, gradually tapering upwards 
roundedly to a convex top about “б in. broad; imperfect blade erect, subulate, 3 to 4 in. 
long, “2 to "З in. broad, glabrous on both sides, decurrent on the apex of the sheath 
into rounded softly hairy auricles furnished with a few (6 to 10) long curved bristles ; 
ligule about '1 in. broad, prominent, faintly ciliate, dentate, pubescent on the back. 
Leaves oblong-lanceolate, long acuminate, 5 to 7 in. long, 6 to "8 in. broad, narrowed at 
the base into a 2 to 3 in. long petiole; tip ending in а long twisted scabrous 
point; smooth above, rather rough beneath, very scabrous on one margin; main vein 
pale, shining, narrow, secondary veins 4 to 5 pairs, intermediate 7 to 9; transverse 
veinlets very many, raised, straight ог slightly oblique, about 60 to 70 to the 
inch; /eaf-sheaths striate, glabrous, long.ciliate on the edges, ending in а very hairy 
ring furnished on either side with a few long twisted bristles; Jiguie rather long 
glabrous, pubescent on the back. Inflorescence of short 4 to 6 in. long panicles, 
terminal and axillary on leafless branches, supported by glabrous sheathing bracts like 
small culm-sheaths, the spikelets on long wavy capillary glabrous pedicels, glandular at 
the nodes and somewhat verticillately arranged. Spikelets 2 in. or more long, curved, 
very narrow, with 2 empty glumes and 6 to 10 flowers, the uppermost 2 to 4 usually 
empty; rachillae about 3 in. long, clavate, white-pubescent, ending in a tuft of white 
hairs below the flowers; empty glumes 2, lower "2 in., upper 4 in. long, 3- to 5-nerved, 
ovate-acuminate, mucronate, slightly ciliate ; flowering glumes similar to upper empty glume 
but slightly longer, long mucronate, nerves 7, prominent, midrib scabrous; paiea as 
long or rather longer than flowering glume, 2-keeled, ciliate on the keels, 1 nerved 
between them and 1-пегуей on either side, bifid at the apex and bi-mucronate. 
Lodicules 3, obovate or ovate acute, faintly nerved and ciliate. Stamens 3, filaments short ; 
anthers slightly exsert, linear, acute. Ovary glabrous, brown gradually produced into à 
short often curved style, early divided into three long-plumose stigmas. Caryopsis oblong, 
dark-brown, grooved, surmounted by the persistent base of the style. 
Hills of British Bhutan, on Весы Lá, at 11,000 feet. 
This interesting species was discovered by Mr. R. Pantling's collectors in September 
1895. The collectors had been sent to look for specimens of a bamboo which, in an
