COLONEL MUNRO'S MONOGRAPH OF THE BAMBUSACEiE. 125 



reliquis 1-2 reperiuntur, hae semper palese inferiori oppositae. Stamina 6, basi momulelj.lia, antheris 

 mucrone plus minus hirsuto terminatis. Stylus brevis, basi incr;ssatus, supmiCj ut videtur, bifidus. 

 sed forsan trifidus. Ovarium (immaturum) apice hirsutissimum. 



This species appears to be a loftier plant than the following, and to have a much more 

 compound inflorescence; and the spicules also are rather shorter; but the leaves appear 

 to me to afford the best marks of distinction. Kurz is probably quite correct in identi- 

 fying Humph* s Artmdarbor maxima with this plant ; but I have felt bound to adopt Will- 

 denow's specific name as the first published. "Willdenow's plant was kindly forwarded by 

 Dr. G-arcke for my inspection from Berlin, so that there is no doubt of its identity. 



Willdenow had only seen one flowering branchlet, sent by Thunberg, and there!". 



describes it as having " spica terminalis simplex." His locality of India is, of 

 wrong— as Thunberg was never in India, ordinarily so called.
