Bull. Vol. VIII. Plate Cvathea squamulata. Two plants from Penang Hill: (left)Haniff 9128, (right) Ridley 7107, X , 309 directly from the costa; texture thin; colour usually darkabove and paler below; surfaces and veins glabrous exceptfor occasional hairs on veins on upper surface; scales oncosta? and costules below not very numerous, on costselanceolate with or without paler slightly bullate base, theedges strongly setose, gradually transitional to pale bullatescales with darker setose tips on the costules; sort medianon the veins, distinct from each other at maturity, notoccupying the whole surface, paraphyses long palenumerous, longer than the sporangia. Type: Java, in Blumes Herbarium. The typical form of this species, from Java, has ratherpale paraphyses which are only a little longer than thesporangia. I have seen a considerable number of sheetsfrom Java, and all agree in this character, which was notedby Mettenius (Ann. Lugd. Bat. 1: 52). In characte
