above to a bilobed apex, not inflated, unclosed all along the ventral side, except 
in a short basal closely sheathing part, glossy and of a chestnut colour inside, 
covered externally with extremely minute hair-like spinules, and armed also witb 
scattered, black, unequal spicule, 2—3 cm. long, or shorter. The leaves have a slender 
and not long cirrus; the petiole is 17—18 cm. long, 4 mm. broad, flat above. 
convex, and slightly clawed beneath, the pinniferous part is about 50 cm. long. 
Leaflets 4 on each side of the rhachis, green above, white beneath, elongate or 
cuneately-rhomboidal, 16—20 cm, long, 6—7 em. broad (the 2 lowest narrower), very 
acuminate ; the margins sharply erose-toothed ; the ansce short, 2—5 mm. long. 
Hasirat.—West Sumatra at Ayer Mantjor in the Prov. of Padang, at 360 m, 
above sea level (Bece. P. S., No. 673 sterile.) 
OnsERVATIONS.— Very probably it represents the juvenile stage of K. robusta Bl.—
