COLONEL MUNRO'S MONOGRAPH OF THE BAMBUSACE^. 97 



The leaves attached to Dr. Cantor's specimen are deeply tessellated on both sides, and 

 appear to belong to a very different plant. The flowers are, I feel persuaded, identical 

 with the plant above described.

This bears a considerable resemblance to B. tulcla, from winch, however the att nua cd 

 ovary at once distinguishes it. Very few of the spicube (somefm, - only 2-., on a branch) 



appear to be perfect ; the sterile spicule are numerous and very much smaller.
