perfect. The specimens under tHs number in Herb. Linn. Soc. consist of two branches 

 with leaves and solitary terminal female flowers: the five leaves marked B are detached 

 and can hardly be referred to G. Cowa, whilst the flowers certainly can.— [Lanessan

 slender, thickened above. S^als rV >"•, fleshy, orbiculaf. Fetah a little longer and 

 thjnner, concave, reflexed above the middle. Stamens in a shortly pedioelled 4-cornered 

 compressed mass , anthers 4-gonal, 4-oelled. Female fl. solitary, axillary. Ovary ovoid 

 (5^7-celled, Maingay) ; stigma 5-7-lohed, lobes lobulate, papillose. [" Fruit subglobosC,

 fascicles from axillary cushions that are clothed with lanceolate bracts.

Branchlets as thick as the little finger, 4-angled, black when dry, nodes very close 

 set. Leaves 5-7 by 3-4 in., not shining, narrowed into the petiele,. brown when dry, 

 nerves uniform very slender, with oblique sinuous connecting nerves beneath ; petiole' 

 not very stout. Male fl. J in. diam., crowded on every node for a considerable length ;. 

 pedicels J in. long; bracts crowded, xj^tt in. long, membranous, erect, red-brown. 

 Sepals orbicular, outer smaller. Petals rather larger than the inner sepals, orbfcnlar, 

 concave, not very coriaceous. Stamens forming a quadrate mass, without a rudimentary 

 ovary ; anthers small, subsessile, 2celled, peltate. — I find no difference between this 

 plant and the Banca one except that the leaves are larger and the pedicels rather 

 shorter. A very similar or identical plant is found in Borneo ; its remarkable inflo- 

 rescence and bracts at once distinguish it. — /. D. H.
