 spadicis slipes II mm.; inflor. feminea 8 mm., inflor. mascaia iO mm. 



Describedfrom spécimens grown in Ihe Hongkong Botanic Garden (1888, n.S9), 

 f( received from Bangkok several years ago », as stated on the label. ïts specific 

 name is t'rom its being an alien guest in the place where it was gi'own. 



Allied to Aglaonema siinplex and Aglaonema tenuipes; and though nearer to 

 Ihe former it is quite ditl'erent from both. Among its divergent characters are 

 the long stalk of the spadix, and still more so the short petiolar sheath, which 

 involves no more than a tenlh part of its length. 



89. Aglaonema malaccense Schott in Bonplandia, 1839, p. 30. — Ton- 

 kyaghat, adjoining the Karen coantry, in the extreme N. W. of Siam (Kurz, 

 II. 263). In Herb. Kew. there are spécimens from Pegu, Mergui Archipelago, 

 Perak, and other parts of British Malaya, and it extends also to Sumatra and 

 Bornéo. Being thus widely distributed, it probably occurs in Lower Siam also, 

 although I have not seen spécimens.

 comes from some pari of Üie Malay Peninsula, or one of the islands along its 

 coast. »
