There is an original and authentic specimen of P. tvtperulum in the Calcutta 
Herbarium collected by Teysmann iu Samatra, aud it agrees absolutely with tlio 
Penang and Pen^k specimoua above quotod. The Bpeciea is near to F. scahrum, 
Haask., but has fower atamoua and snialler and differently shuped leaves. The ripe 
fruit is Jilao preaumably much smaller, for Hpecimeua of uuripo fruit of P, ncahrum 
are aa large as siMoimena of ripe frait of thia flpecioa.
