Burma ; Pegu and Shan Hills, very common. 

 This is the most easily separated of all the " Congesta " group, owing to the? 

 extreme smallness of its flowers. The form with which it might most easily be 

 confused is F. congesta var. viridis ; in this case, however, besides the smaller flowers, 

 the red colour of the leaves beneath at once effects a diagnosis.

Nilghiris ; Wight ! 



Almost as easily separated as the preceding, in this case owing to the soft 

 uniform pubescence on the leaflets beneath. It might most readily be mistaken for 

 F. Grahamiana but its leaves are more densely pubescent and its bracts are not at 

 all rigid.

 Bat. i. 163. F. congesta var. latifolia Bah. in Flor. Brit. Ind. ii. 229. 



Of this very distinct species there are two marked varieties : — 



Var. a. typica ; bracts not broader than calyx, racemes more lax. 

 F. latifolia var. genuina Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. xlv. 2. 261. 



Khasia ; Hooher and Thomson! Naga Hii,ls ; Masters! Burma; 

 Maymyo, King's Collector ! Distrib. Java. 



This most resembles F. congesta, but its bracts are broader, its racemes longer, 

 its flowers larger ; the bracts and calyx are densely brown-silky, and the leaves 

 beneath have a reddish tinge from the sparse rusty tomentum on the nerves. 



Var. p. grandiflora Kurz lac. cit. ; bracts broader than calyx, racemes 

 dense at first strobilate, flowers larger. 



Burma ; Pegu, Kurz 1636 ! Shan Hills, King's Collector ! 

 A very distinct variety that it may yet be necessary to raise to specific rank.

This cannot be mistaken for any of the preceding species owing to its long lax 

 racemes ; it has not yet been sent to Calcutta from Burma, Malaya or China.
