The only other described species of this genus (P. dealbatus, 

 Boisd.) is, in a fresh state, densely covered with an elongate in- 

 florescence, pure white, and very delicate. There is some doubt 

 in regard to its locality, Schonherr giving Manilla, and Boisduval 

 New G-uinea ; it probably occurs in both ; Mr. Wallace found it 

 at Sarawak and in Grilolo, Batchian, Morty, Makian, Kaioa, Tidore, 

 Bouru, Ternate, Key, and Waigiou. Lacordaire was acquainted 

 with two other species, from Borneo and Cochin China respec- 

 tively ; the former is probably the one here described. A specimen 

 from Java is shorter and less cylindrical, and is possibly distinct.
