Sarawak, Matang (Ridley). 



One of the narrow leaved wet rock species after the 

 style of H. angustifolinm and as near the Chamcecladon 

 pygmaeum of Engler's Aracea^ No. 96 as anything but 

 differing not only in foliage but in the very few female 

 flowers. 



H. intermediam, n. sp. 



Stem 1 inch long with numerous thick grey roots. 

 Leaves numerous obliquely elliptic acute minutely mucro- 

 nate at the tip, narrowed slightly toward the base 5 

 inches long 2 inches wide or smaller. Nerves fine about 

 14 pairs, secondary nerves few and indistinct, petiole 

 slender 2-2^ inches long, sheathing for about J its 

 length. Peduncle of spadix 3 inches long slender, 

 Spathe 1-1^ inch long nearly ^ inch through narrowed 

 above the female portion about half way up, and cuspidate 

 at the tip. * 



Sarawak, Matang (Ridley) Endemic. 



This plant is about the size and habit of H. Griffithii 

 but very different in its their textured fine nerved leaves 

 and the long slender peduncles, and spathe narrowed in 

 the middle. It seems to be intermediate between the 

 section Euhnomalomena and Chamcecladon.
