Hab. Java, Snmatra. — Mettenins describes the involncres as rigidly membranaceons, 

 bat breaking down into a nearly plane circular base : this is tme in some of my aatbentic 

 specimens ; in others it breaks into nneqnalJy-lobed caps. Notwithstanding the careful 

 descriptions of Dr. Mettenins of the Malayan species of Oyalhea, I fear we hare yet much 

 to learn with regard to their limits.
