The small collection of Siamese Palms brought home by the 
Danish Expedition consists of 20 samples and in addition to those 
4 species are recorded by Dr. Schmidt. 
The collection is of special interest being one of the first made 
in Siam. 11 genera and 12 speciés are represented. A few samples 
are unfortunately so incompletely developed that a doubtless 
identification is impossible, this being specially the case with the 
seedlings of Calamus. All the plants collected are typical inhabitants 
of the hot and damp regions (resp. tropical coastal regions). 
The species of Calamus and Daemonorops have been deter- 
mined by the monographer of these genera O. Beccari who found 
a new species D. Schmidtianus amongst them.

mensis Mig. Palm. Archip. Ind. 14. 
The specimens collected by Dr. Schmidt differ from the typical Ph. 
paludosa Roxb. in having the segments of the leaves arranged in fas- 
cicles; besides this the male as well as the female inflorescences are 
much shorter than those of the type, resembling very much those of Ph. 
humilis Royle var. Roebeleniit (O’Brien); but the basilar embryo shows 
clearly that the specimens belong really to P. paludosa Roxb.
