with intramarginal nerves; petioles 2 in. long, -i to *25 in. across,

var. Wallichii Ridl. l.c. P. Wallichii Hook. fit. l.c. A more 
slender plant, leaf-sheaths narrower and spadix more stipitate: style 
more distinct. Hah. Penang (Porter in Wall. Coll. 4439B, P. tenera).

I think this is only a weak form. Mr. Gwynne-Vaughau collected in Jalor 
specimens which though fiowerless appeared to be showing the young leaves 
produced on the lower part of the plant. They are ovate-cordate shortly 
cuspidate, i in. long and nearly as wide, the petioles -i in. long, so that one 
lobe of the leaf at base overlaps the slender rhizome.

Stem fairly stout. Leaves elliptic cuspidate, 5 in. long, 2-5 in. 
wide, base rounded, one intramarginal nerve some way from the 
edge, an outer one close to the edge; petioles 3 in. long, sheathing 
broadly to the knee, which is *25 in. long. Peduncle stout, 2 in.
