 102). Endemic. 



The form of the leaves is that of H. borneensis but the 

 venation is very close and fine, there being practically no primary 

 nerves. The spadices are also much smaller and narrower but in 

 the specimens are quite young.

 inches long 1-^ inch wide narrowed to the base above 

 deep green with a central white feather, beneath pale 

 green, with 8 pairs of elevated nerves, petiole 7-8 inches 

 long slender terete. Spadices rising from a basal narrow 

 sheath 3 inches long, peduncle 1-^-2 inches long slender 

 spathe l£ inch long curved base swollen § inch through, 

 , above narrowed acuminate all pale green. Spadix little
