again is longer than the corolla. It should probably be classed 
specifically distinct, but for the present 1 prefer to leave it asa 
variety of A. assimilis.

closely ribbed rather stiff and glabrous, 14 foot lone 3 inches 
wide petiole 2 to 3 inches finely ribbed, ligule bilobed rounded 
tinch long. Panicle shorter than the leaves erect lax, lower

Borneo, Santubong in Sarawak (Dr. Haviland). 
This is very distinct from ail the others of this sectionin its 
lax panicle with stiff spreading branches, the boat-shaped lip and 
the oval entire crest. The leaves too are much stiffer in texture 
and the whole plant is almost completely glabrous. 
A. malaccensis Roxb. Trans. Soc. Lin. VITI 845. is an unfor- 
tunately named species. It does not occur here so far as I know 
but is a native of India, The Javaneseand Moluccas plants de- 
scribed as of this species are not A. malaccensis but perhaps one 
of the next two described. 
A. latilabris n.sp. 
Whole plant about 12 feet tall. Leaves glabrous, except the 
midrib, petiole and ligule, 2 feet and a half long, 3 inches wide 
parrowly lanceolate tapering at the base, petiole an inch long, 
ligule sub-acute brown pubescent. Raceme sub-erect, many 
flowered 6 inches long, rachis stout pubescent very pale green, 
outer bracts oblong lanceolate blunt 2 inches long 1 inch wide, 
white tinted with rose, Inner bract ampliatetrifid at the apex 
14 inch long, pinkish white. Pedicels very short white pubes- 
cent + inch long, ovary longer, pubescent. Calyx trifid at apex
