 Diepenhorst (paro-paro inc. ; Herb. Bogor. No. 2888.) 



Sub-var. 2, diffusa; — folia ultra poll, lata, culmi penn. gall, crassi ; 

 corymbi divaricato-squarrosi, ramosissimi, ramis inferioribus ternatis. 

 Rather frequent in the hill forests of Western Java, as on the Salak 

 and Pangerango. 



It is often difficult to distinguish Sub-var. 1 and 2 from each other, 

 as there are many transgressions. 



Sub-var. 3, gracilis; — folia vix. poll, lata, 3 — 3£ ped. longa ; culmi 

 graciles ; corymbi divaricato-squarrosi, ramosi, ramis inferioribus 

 ternatis. — This form is cultivated in the Botanic gardens, Buitenzorg, 

 and most probably has come from the hill forests of the Pangerango or 

 Salak. It is especially marked by the narrow leaves and the slender 

 habit. 



Var. y minor, folia angustissima, J poll, lata v. angustiora ; culmi 

 graciles ; corymbi parvi, ramis abbreviatis vix ramosis ; acheniis ut
