This in externals more reaerabies S. Rotsbnrghii thfui it does any other Malayan 
apeciea, and may posaibly bo the plant from Penang, noted by Mr, Baker as having 
been coofosed by Dr. Wn.llich with gijrocarpus nncler Cat. n. 5442; at Calcntfca, 
however, all the apeciraens of Cat, n. 64 12 aro gennine S. ffyrorarjyus. Tlie pre^etib 
plant was not tdantified with any apociea at Kew and ia any oa^se it is cortairily not a 
form of S. Roxburghii-'i it difftra in having smallor fli>wera ; narrower, relativotv 
longer biiicteoles, and mnch longer stipnlea— the latter in S. Roxlurghii are tdangnlnr 
and though wider at the base aro only 15 in. loDg, The fltipE>1& on the other hand 
are small and obscure and the moat striking difference between this plant and 
S. Rovhurghii, or indeed hetween it and any otber species of Spatholohns is that the 
rnohis of tho leaf is so shortly prolonged beyond the attachment of the lateral paiJF 
of leaflets that tho leaf is at times sabdigitately 3«folioIate,
