239 ANNALS OF THE ROYAL BOTANIC GARDEN, CALCUTTA. (D. floridus 
“shaped with three distinct lobes, short; corolla twice as long, lobes oblong. Female 
“spadix in fruit 6 inches long. Fruit obovoid, shortly beaked, over an inch long 
“yellowish brown, Scales in 8 rows, edged with dark brown, broader than long,

DaEMONOROPS CALOSPATHA. Ridley Mat. Fl. Ma. Pen. ii, 179. 
Calospatha Sceortechinii Becc. ms. 
The description given by Ridley (l.c.) of this Palm, exactly agrees with a 
fruiting spadix, existing in my herbarium, and collected by  Seortechini in the 
‘district of Perak. Of this specimen a drawing was sent by me to Kew, under the 
name of Calospatha Scortechinti, together with my manuscript notes for the “Flora 
of British India”, wherein, however, this Palm was not included. 
Mr, Ridley gives also the description of the leaves of his Daemonorops calospatha, 
but there is not the required evidence that these are really those of the fruiting 
spadix which he describes. 
Calospatha Scortechinii is a very curious and distinct Palm, more related to 
Plectocomia than to Daemonorops, distinguishable from the first especially by its very 
short spadix, and from the second by the distichous, very peculiar, primary spathes 
and by the fruit containing 3 seeds, 
I hope to be able to give later a figure and a detailed description of Calos- 
patha, when working on the other genera of the Asiatic Lepidocaryeae. 
DarwoNoRoPs DIVERSISPINUS Bece. in Rec. Bot, Surv. Ind. ii, 929. 
This species must be eliminated, as it was founded by me upon a spadix of 
D. cristatus and a portion of a leaf of Calamus ferrugineus, which were together on 
the same sheet in the Calcutta Herbarium. See observations to Daemonorops cristatus. 
DaEMoNOROPS ERINACEUS Bece. in Rec. Bot. Surv. Ind. ii, 225. 
I now consider this as a species of Calamus (C. erinaceus Bece,).
