"apus" and " Gigantochloa apus" in herb. Kurz., which is, I tliink, distinct from $\v 

 preceding, as the leaves are uneven at the base, and are much more hirsute below; the 

 membrane below the petiole is also conspicuously fringed. I think it is very probable 



that Blume's B. apus will prove to be the same as Oxy tenant her a nigro-ciliata. .Munro.

Two or three species of Bamboos have the curious horn-like appendages to the vagina 



described above ; but in this species they are larger than in any of the others. Th< 

 same native name ("Embon") is applied in herb. Horsfield to Melocanna Zollinger!, to 

 which, however, the above-described leaves certainly do not belong.
