Petiole split up into two parts (fig. 1), both of these bearing 
a blade, though of different sizes. The same thing has been 
observed by Penzig in Anthurium spec.'), in Philodendron 
erubescens Schott’), by Braun in Zantedeschia aethiopica and 
Colocasia undulata '), by Masters in Arum maculatum. ’) 
Colocasia affinis Schott. 
Habitat Himalaya Mts. 
Coll. Schott in horto priv. Soekaboemi. 
Although this plant like so many members of the same 
family produces nothing but the wellknown sagittate form 
(fig. 2a), Mr. Schott at Soekaboumi found some specimens very 
much deviating from the ordinary model on the same stock. 
As the figures show, there is one ovate-oblong blade (2d), one 
oblong-linear (2c) and a third almost linear (26), shapes all 
very uncommon in the family of Araceae. 
Alocasia macrorrhiza Schott. 
Habitat Ceylon. 
Coll. J. J. Smith in horto bogor. 
Two inflorescences grown together in such a way that at the 
end of a stalk of some 12 ¢.M. length two spadices each with 
a spatha are produced (fig. 3). This case calls to mind Goetsche’s 
Calla aethiopica, in which even three spadices sprang from the 
same stem. 
Anthurium spec. 
Habitat South-America? 
Coll. Krimer in horto priv. Soekaboemi. 
A strongly reduced spadix on a young plant. Although the 
spatha has a length of 4.5 ¢.M., there are only a half-dozen 
of flowers inserted on a scarcely visible spadix.
