Sarawak : Lundu (Ridley Sept. 1905). 



The very close nervation of the leaves, which are also 

 thickly dotted with dark colored dots, and the large 

 constricted spadix distinguish this from allied species.

 ovate with a broad base, apex falcate acute, nerves about 

 7 pairs 6 inches long 4 inches wide. Spathes several,

Kuching: (Ridley 12417). 



Schismato glottis multiflora var. latifolia. 



Mr. Hewitt sends from the Sarawak Museum a speci- 

 men of a plant collected on Matang by Mr. Bartlett 

 July 21, 1895, which resembles Sch. multiflora except 

 in the leaves which are much broader elliptic cuneate 

 at the base, tip acuminate, 8 inches long 3 inches wide. 

 The flowers ill-preserved seem identical with those of 

 Sell, multiflora. I propose the variety latifolia for it.

 cordate, lobes rounded, 7 inches long by 4 inches wide
