Flora of Koh Chang.

Contributions to the knowledge of the vegetation in the Gulf of Siam.

By Johs. Schmidt.

Part I.

(Johs. Schmidt: Introductory. F. Krinzlin: Orchidaceae, Apostasiaceae.)

With Map (plate I).

Introductory by Johs. Schmidt.

With the present contribution 1 am beginning the publication of a systematic list containing the plants collected by me during the stay of the Danish Expedition in Siam (1899—1900).

These contributions will be published gradually as the material will be examined and named by various specialists, who have kindly undertaken to work up my collections‘).

The collections have all been made in the island Koh Chang (see Map) and adjacent smaller islands, thus originating in a small, fairly accessible area, of which the natural bounds are given by its position in the sea. On account of this and as catalogues of the plants growing in a certain locality have not hitherto been published from anywhere in Siam, as far as I am aware, I

hope this list will be of some interest, although it cannot claim to be complete as it is only the results of my collections during my stay in the island in three winter-months.

These contributions to which the present is an introduction only will deal with the systematic relations of the concerning plants and their geographic distribution. As I intend to publish later on a more detailed description of the vegetation of Koh Chang from a biological and ecological point of view where particulars will be given about the general climatic and geographic facts, I here confine myself to the most necessary informations.

The expenses of the Expedition were paid by the Danish Government and the ,Carlsbergfondet* and we undertook our voyage under the auspices and with the sanction of the Bota- nical and Zoological Museums of the University of Copenhagen both of which contributed to our outfit and supplied the funds on which we travelled.

On October 1% 1899 we started from Copenhagen onboard the Danish steamer ,Siam* bound for China. During the sea- voyages out- and homeward the time was occupied by collecting and studying the zoo- and phytoplankton of the seas, we passed through. After a short stay in Singapore, Bangkok was reached in the middle of December. About a week later we left that city onboard H.S.M. ,Chamroen* for our destination, the inner part of the east-coast of the Gulf of Siam. By the kindness of the Royal Siamese Government and our excellent coun- tryman Admiral A. de Richelieu some very valuable support was granted us from the Siamese Navy. Thus we got residence on the Naval Stations at Lem Dan (Koh Chang) and Lem Ngob (Siamese mainland), and also men to assist us during our dredgings or inland trips. Until the end of March [ lived at Lem Dan and spent the time collecting plants and studying the flora of Koh Chang, for which purpose I undertook numerous excursions by land to the hills or visited by boat the different. coasts of the island.

At the end of March we left Siam in the Danish steamer ,Cathay* for Copenhagen, where we arrived on June 1 1900. Our collections have all been placed in the Botanical and Zoo- logical Museums of the University of Copenhagen.

The island Koh Chang (Elephant Island) is situated in the northeasterly part of the Gulf of Siam about 80 miles from the boundary between Siam and Cambodia'). A strait, 2%/2— 10 miles broad, separates the island from the Siamese mainland. The area of Koh Chang is about 70 square miles and it is the lar- gest Siamese island in the Bay. Consequent to its position in 12° lat. N. the climate of Koh Chang is entirely tropical, the year being divided in a rainy and a dry season, the former during the blowing of the damp south-west monsoon (generally from May to August) the latter in the other months where the dry north-easterly winds are prevalent. The heat is most ex- treme in spring, in March, April and May hefore the south- west monsoon sets in and after the cessation of the north-east. The coolest season is the autumn- and winter-months. At Bangkok?) the annual average temperature is 26,7° C. (80,1° F.), Decembers 24° C. (75,2° F.) and Aprils 28,5" C. (83,3° F.). The annual rainfall amounts to 1670™™ (65,7 inches) of which about */s during the months from May to October.

The times of tides in the Gulf of Siam are very irregular and the rise also varies along the shores from 4 to 9 feet. In the Inner Gulf the principal of the two tides occurs in the south- west monsoon at night, but in the north-east this gradually alters and the high tide will be found in the daytime.

Koh Chang is a mountainous island and ranges of peaks separated by valleys occupy its whole area especially running in the direction from NW to SE and growing in height and impor- tance as they go south. The highest point is found in the southern

1) The more exact position is given by the following indications: Novthern- most point in 22°10’ lat. N., southernmost in 11°57’ lat. N., westmost in 102° 14’ long. E., eastmost in 102° 25’ long. E.

2) Bangkok (13° 88" lat.N., 100° 34 long. E.) is the nearest place, from where some meteorological facts are present. During my stay in Koh Chang I made some measurements of temperatures and the degree of moisture, which later will be published.

part of the island (Table Peak), north of Klong Sarlakpet, and rises nearly to 2450 feet.

The hills of Koh Chang consist of a rather small-grained eruptive rock, most commonly light-brown or red in colour, more seldom greenish.

A narrow strip of plain surrounds the hills of Koh Chang; its soil is a very compact, reddish clay the presence of which is due to the denudation of the hills.

Whereas no lakes or ponds of any importance are found in Koh Chang, a great number of small rivers and rivulets in- tersect the island taking their rise from the hills in the interior. Their water usually streams very quickly and they are often broken by waterfalls. Most commonly these waterfalls are small; some more important ones are found near the east-coast in Klong Munsé and a little more southward in Klong Majuim, near the west-coast in Klong Prao. In the dry season the rivers contain but little water; but during the south-west monsoon they swell and fill up their stony beds. When the rivers have reached the plains near the coast, their course becomes more quiet, their breadth increases and some of them are navigable for small crafts for some distance from the sea (Klong Prao, Klong Sarlakpet, the latter debouching in the great bay at the south-end of the island).

Especially in the more exposed west-coast of Koh Chang the steep rocks go right down to the sea, but in most other places the shores are low and flat, their soil consisting of coral-sand‘) or stony gravel. Where rivers debouch and assume the propor- tions of more important estuaries, the ground is covered with a black mud and occupied by a luxuriant mangrove-vegetation.

The hills of Koh Chang are all covered with the densest jungle from the feet to their highest top. As the vegetation on the whole, this jungle has been but little influenced by the scarce Siamese and Chinese population scattered along the coasts, where klongs debouch.

Villages of some importance are situated at the mouths of Klong Munsé (east-coast) and Klong Sarlakpet (south-end); besides which some few people live at Klong Son (north-end), Klong Prao (west-coast), do Savan (south-end) and a few other places.

') The sand here is often much more large-grained than on our northern shores consisting of big coral-fragments. In some places however common quartzy small-grained sand can be found.

=e

In the rains a little rice is cultivated in the plains; further some few vegetables, pine-apples, bananas, mangos and other fruittrees; and here and there one finds a small pepper plantation, but on the whole the cultivated area of Koh Chang is quite minimal.

{ am indebted to Admiral de Richelieu for kind information about the geographic Siamese names within the explored area.

Notice. In Map and following lists of localities a few Siamese words are often used: Koh: island, Klong: river, canal, creek, Lem: headland, Ao: bay, Noi: little, small, Jai: great, large.

Flores pulchri nivei, sicci diaphani, a sepalorum apicibus ad illum pseudocalcaris 3,2—3,5 cm. longi, la- bellum 2,5 cm. longum inter lobos laterales expansum 1,3 cm. latum.

In beauty and size the flowers of this plant are much like those of D. erumenatum Sw. but they differ by the lip, the middle-lobe of which is reduced to a very small triangle. In size and foliage the plant agrees very well with a big specimen of D. podagraria Hook. f. (D. angulatum Wall.) a plant widely spread over all the Indo-Malayan islands.

Bolbophyllum Thouars.

9. B. tridentatum Krzl. n. sp.

Rhizomate longe prorepente 2 mm. crasso, bulbis 5—8 cm. inter se distantibus obtuse tetragonis conicis 1,;—2 cm. altis basi fere 1,5 cm. crassis moncphyllis, foliis oblongis lanceolatisve ad 8 cm. longis 1—2 cm. latis acutis coriaceis apice vix v. non biapiculatis, scapis nutantibus quam folia bene brevioribus basi vaginatis ceterum nudis, racemis subcapitatis pauci-— plurifloris nutantibus, bracteis parvis oblongis acutis quam flores bene brevioribus 2—3 mm. longis. Sepalo dorsali oblongo obtuso concavo, sepalis lateralibus ovati- oblongis plus duplo longioribus basi connatis subobliquis acuminatis apice ipso obtusis, petalis minutis subquadratis v. brevissime ovatis supra triapiculatis v. tridentatis, apiculis brevibus subulatis, mediano vix longiore, labelli lobis lateralibus falcatis acutis pellucidis incurvis, labello ipso crasso carnoso ovato medio sulcato supra et infra dense papilloso ; gynostemii dentibus lateralibus latiusculis denticulo 1 late- rali instructis integrisve. Flores rufinuli, sepala lateralia 6 mm. longa, dorsale 3 mm., labellum 1,5-—-2 mm. longum.

The plant belongs to the group of mostly very indifferent looking species which are more or less similar to B. neilgherrense Wight and B. Careyanum Spreng. All have long creeping rhizomes, rather distant monophyllous bulbs, nodding more or less capitate spikes and most of them or all reddish flowers. The chief-character of this species consists in the three-pointed petals, a peculiarity not observed in any other species of the group. The lip in its shape does not differ very much from that of the allied species, but here the side-lobes are reduced to a thin transparent border whilst the middle-lobe consists of the strong fleshy body so common in Bolbophyllums.

Eria Lindl.

10. E. semiconnata Kral. n. sp.

Bulbis nummiformibus applanatis orbicularibus 8— 10 mm. diam. margine subrepandis supra retinerviis, foliis sub anthesi nullis, mihi non visis, floribus semper unicis brevi-pedicellatis, bractea ovata cucullata acuta quam ovarium longiore, flore nutante. Sepalo dor- sali obovato-oblongo brevi-acutato, sepalis lateralibus in unum basi gibbosum connatis apicem versus: liberis acutis cum dorsali conglu- tinatis non connatis, petalis obovatis obtusis, tota superficie minute crystallino-glandulosa, labello simplice ovato acuto basi plicato ibique umbonato; gynostemio perbrevi. Flores extus et intus glabri, in- tense rubri, sepala 5—6 mm. longa, labellum 2 mm. longum.

This curious little thing is the sixth species of the Porpax-group and is closely allied to E. ustulata Par. & Rehb. f. The differences are how- ever considerable enough to keep the plant distinct from EF. ustulata. The flowers of the latter are pubescent on the outside, those of our species are quite glabrous, the upper sepal is triangular and acuminate in E. ustu-

nn: ae

lata, in E. semiconnata oblong or obovate, the petals of this species are broadly obovate, those of E. ustulata according to Reichenbach lanceolate. At last the colour is somewhat different though not much.

41. E.Nummularia Kral. n. sp.

Bulbis crebris approximatis sese tangentibus orbicularibus mar- gine repandis depressis radiatim jugosis 8—10 mm. diam., floribus plerumque solitariis, bracteis ovatis acutis ovarium subglobosum semiaequantibus. Sepalis per duas tertias longitudinis in tubum con- natis, lateralibus basi bullatis omnibus antice longe oblongis acutis apice reflexis, petalis aequilongis obovati-oblongis antice rotundatis utrinque hyalini-papillosis, labello brevi oblongo obtuso, linea eleva-

tula per totum discum decurrente. —- Flores inversi extus et intus glaberrimi rubri, sepala circ. 4 mm. longa, petala aequilonga an- tice 2 mm. lata, labellum 1,5 mm. longum. Januario.

The little plant resembles very much the latter, but 1. the flo- wers are not resupinate, 2. the sepals are not united except the third part below the top, 3. the petals are cuneate or obovate, 4. the lip has an eleva- ted line running from the base to the apex but not a tubercle at the base; at last the dimensions of all these parts are still a little smaller than in E. semiconnata. For the other characters both species agree very much especially in the smallness of the flower. Also in this species leaves are missing.

Flores inter minores generis, sepala petalaque 8 mm. longa, labellum cum calcari fere 8 mm. longum.

The stem is very long and attached to the bark of trees by roots of a considerable length; the habit of the plant resembles that of some peperomioid plants, from where I borrowed the name. The species which we may consider to be the nearest to it is perhaps Saccolabiin bipunctatum Par. & Rehb. f. (referred to Cleisostoma by Sir Jos. Hooker) a very imperfectly known species from Tenasserim; it has the same habit, the same manner of growth, the same very short inflorescences of 1 or rarely 2 flowers and even some very slight resemblance in the flower, but no character is identical i both species.

Flores albi violaceo-punctati, sepala 7 mm. longa, petala et label- lum vix breviora.

Differs from Ster. juvanica Bl. by its smaller flowers and the more prominent gibbosity of the lateral sepals and the lip. The tubercles at the base of the latter are very conspicuous. The flowers are white with violet spots, whilst in St. javanica they are whitish with violet tips of the sepals and petals. It is a very similar species.

Area: The genus Stereosandra, as far we can judge for the moment, is confined to the islands of the indo-malayan archipelago. Stereosandra ja- vanica Bl. has only been found in Java.

It is not without hesitation, that | found a new species of Cyprii- pedium of which I am quite unable to give any particulars about the colours. The characters which make me believe that the species must be a new one are the extreme smallness of the Jower sepal and the strictly deflexed petals. The first character is never observed in such a degree and the position of the petals is in similar manner only to be seen in Cyp. Fairieanuin and Cyp. Dayanwm but in neither the petals are so directly deflexed as in this species and both species are out of the question by numerous other characters. My material consists in 3 flowers preserved in alcohol and I am quite sure that I have seen all parts in their natural position and not injured hy pressure.

Contributions to the knowledge of the vegetation in the Gulf of Siam.

Part II.

Corallinaceae by M. Foslie Trondhjem.

Along the coasts of Asia from the Indian Ocean, eastward to the North Pacific Ocean and farther up to the Bering Sea the tracts have been almost unknown as regards the unarticulated cal careous Algae, setting aside a few species of Melobesia attached to other Algae, although on the other hand the other groups of Coral- linaceae do not seem to be considerably known. Some species are lately known from the Pacific coast of Japan, but otherwise as far as I know not a single species has been formerly quoted with any degree of certainty from the said extended coasts. Therefore, every contribution from these tracts may be of importance as regards the knowledge of these up to late times rather neglected Algae and their geographic distribution.

During the Danish expedition to Siam 1899-—-1900 some cal- careous Algae were collected in different places in the Gulf of Siam. The collection certainly comprehends but a small number of species which are to be recorded below, giving however some interesting facts as to the distribution of these Algae. The species not formerly described will be pictured on a subsequent occasion.

Mr. Th. Reinbold of Itzehoe has been kind enough to deter- mine Amphiroa and Corallina.

Archaeolithothamnion,(Rothpl.) Fosl.*).

1. A. Schmidtii Fos]. mscr.

Thallus forming crusts on Corals up to about % mm. thick, sending forth crowded wart-like excrescences or short, simple or subsimple branches about 2 mm. thick, occasionally up to 12 mm. long, in an advanced stage frequently knotty and rugged and in part rather anastomosing. Sporangia 50—65 » long and 30—40 yu thick.

There are to be found two specimens of this characteristic species, attached to about 15 cm. long and 3—5 cm. thick, somewhat compres- sed pieces of dead Corals which it at length fully surrounds. The crust does not attain any considerable thickness, apparently not exceeding about 2 mm., frequently thinner. It produces in a rather young stage numerous small wartlike excrescences which little by little increase in size, becoming more and more crowded, frequently at length forming short, simple or subsimple’ branches 1.5—3 mm. thick, partly increasing in thickness up- wards partly not, or with somewhat spherical thickened ends, occasionally almost truncate, and in an advanced stage nearly always knotty and rugged. The branches are up to 12 mm. long, but generally smaller, in part at length rather anastomosing. New crusts sometimes are formed upon the primary, or now and then stretched between the branches, or irregular excrescences are formed by growing over extraneous objects. The surface is feebly shining. The colour was in a fresh state a brownish red, however almost discoloured in drying.

On a vertical section the hypothallic layer is shown to be rather feebly developed, composed of elongated cells which are up to about 20 long. It sends forth perithallic rows the cells of which frequently are 1*/2—2 times longer than broad, or 11—18 y long and 7—10p broad, here and there alternating with very small square or roundish cells. Between the more or less densely crowded overgrown sporangia (or cavities after these) the cells are as a rule much elongated and narrow.

The sporangia are formed in more or less regular sori up to about 3mm. in diameter. The sori are sometimes almost confluent, and ap- pear especially in the excrescences or branches, being dissolved or nearly so in the middle of February. On a section the overgrown sporangia form rather regular layers over each other and parallel to the surface of the frond. They are cylindric-bean-shaped or oblong, 50-—65 y long and 30—40y thick, occasionally somewhat smaller and almost roundish- ovate.

The species reminds one in habit of Lithothamnion rugosum Fosl. Otherwise it stands nearest to Archaeolithothamnion erythraewm (Rothpl.) Fosl., from which, however, it seperates itself by essential characteristics.

Picked up from a depth of about 5 fathoms off Koh Kahdat, apparently scarce.

The limits of the above species are not yet well fixed. I have taken it in the same sense as L. fasciculatum 8 fruticilosum Hauck 1. c. Whether it also includes the coarser form delineated by Hauck 1. «, 1.5, fig.3 is as yet not quite certain.

In the collection from Siam are some specimens certainly rather young and not well developed, but on the whole fully agreeing with Adriatic and Mediterranean specimens of the present species. They sur- round small stones and shells of Mollusks, forming a very thin crust which sends forth partly crowded partly scattered wart-like excrescences or short and thin branches up to 5 mm. long. The latter are frequently knotty and rugged, often with somewhat spherical thickened ends.

A couple of the specimens were scantily provided with conceptacles of sporangia in the beginning of February. The conceptacles were how- ever almost dissolved except one. This was about 400 » in diameter seen from above, with four-parted sporangia about 150 by 40—50y. A solitary, probably cystocarpic conceptacle of a conical shape measured about 600 at the base ®).

1) Owing to a mistake I have in Rev. Syst. Surv. Melob. identified ZL. ramlo- sum Phil. with L. fruticulosum Ktitz.

) After this was in press, I have had the opportunity to examine authentic specimens from Hauck’s herbarium. L. fruticuloswm includes two forms, the one with 1—1.5 nm. thick branches as the above mentioned, which I propose to name f.clavulata. This form corresponds in the main with the quoted figure by Kiitzing 1c. as well as Hauck J.c., t.5, flg.5, the latter representing an old specimen. It sometimes assumes an almost globular shape with nearly fastigiate branches (specimens from the coast of Greece). The other form is rather coarse, in habit often much differing from the former and approaching G. brassica-florida (Harv.) Fosl., with the branches frequently 2—2.5 mm. thick. This form I name f. crassiwscula. On the other hand, the coarse form delineated by Hauck 1.c.,t.5, fig.3 seems to belong to another species.

f. purpurascens Fosl. mscr.

Thallus forming up to 2 mm. thick crusts on Corals, frequently with wart-like excrescences 2—3 mm. in diameter. Conceptacles of sporangia subprominent, 550—700 » in diameter. CGonceptacles of cystocarps subconical, about 500 in diameter.

In the quoted papers I mentioned a calcareous Alga from Funafuti which I considered a form of L. Philippii. In the collection from Siam are a few mostly fragmentary specimens which certainly differ in habit from the Funafuti plant, but on the whole are closely related to this. On the other hand, also the latter form much approaches L. Philippii. However, as both show almost the same divergences in their relation to L. Philippii, it appears that they must be considered as forms of a separate species. Both cling more firmly to the substratum than L. Philippii, the latter even sometimes almost loosens itself and develops rhizoids in the lower part.of the frond which occasionally at length form small fronds as in Lithophyllum expansum. The conceptacles are smaller than in the said species, although in this respect no true limit is to be drawn. Besides, as mentioned in the quoted papers, the hypothallus differs rather much from that in L. Philippii, being more feebly deve- loped with more narrow and thin-walled cells than the generally thick- walled cells in the latter. I have seen but some few specimens of L. Philippii. It seems to be rather varying, and the limits are not yet fully known. Perhaps it even includes more than one species in the sense formerly taken. This cannot be decided till a larger material is procured than that I at present possess. I think however to be entitled to adopt the said forms as specifically distinct.

The form purpurascens sticks especially to divers Corals. It forms more or less extended crusts up to about 2 mm. thick, frequently how- ever thinner. The crust is more or less uneven and feebly shining, generally with wart-like excrescences 2—3 mm. in diameter, or some- times thinner, scattered and branch-like processes appear at least in part by covering up small extraneous objects or penetrating animals. A new crust occasionally is formed upon the primary.

With reference to structure the cells of the feebly developed hypo- thallic layer are elongated and up to about 20 » long, with thin walls or rather so. The lower anticlines form a slow convergence towards matrix. The cells of the perithallic layer are much varying in shape and size, and often without any distinct order, partly but 4-5 by 5—6 yp in diameter, square or rounded, not seldom with the longest diameter in horizontal direction, or especially upwards square or more frequently vertically elongated, 7—12 w long and 5—7 y broad.

The reproductive organs in the present specimens of this form are very scanty and not well developed. I have seen but a few conceptacles of sporangia and cystocarps. The former are slightly convex but little prominent, 550—700 yw in diameter and intersected with a number of delicate muciferous canals. The sporangia are four-parted, judging from a solitary conceptacle examined 140—170 » long and 60—70 p. broad, with apparently enduring interwalls. The conceptacles of cystocarps seem to be rather varying, although I have seen but a couple of almost fully

a=) {9

developed ones. They almost coincide in shape with those in L. Phi- lippii and L. lichenoides, but are smaller, about 500 » in diameter at the base, and apparently as a rule more acute. The central parts of the ,conjugation cell‘ bear a bundle of somewhat elongated paranemata. The present form does not differ much from the Funafuti plant, which I provisionally name f. genuina. The latter has a rosy colour, sometimes with a feeble purplish shade, while f. purpurascens is darker or lighter purplish. The crust is frequently a little thicker and less ir- regular, but on the other hand generally with slightly smaller cells than in f. génuina. So also the conceptacles of sporangia being a little smaller, and in the few ones that I have seen not flattened in the central parts.

4, I. siamense Fosl. mscr.

Thallus forming delicate, light rosy, smooth crusts or nearly so on divers hard objects, 30—100 » thick. Conceptacles of spo- rangia convex, rather prominent, 300—500, in diameter. Sporangia four-parted. Conceptacles of cystocarps conical, 350—600 » in diameter.

f. minuta Fos). mscr.

The crust 30-60 » thick. Conceptacles of sporangia 300— 400 » in diameter, Sporangia 60—70 yp long, 25—30y broad. Con- ceptacles of cystocarps 350—450 4 in diameter.

f. simulans Fos]. mscr.

The crust 50—100 u thick. Conceptacles of sporangia 400— 300 in diameter. Sporangia 140—160, long and 60--80, thick. Conceptacles of cystocarps 500—600 y in diameter.

This is one of the most delicate of the species of this genus at- tached to hard objects. It sticks especially to Corals, but is also met with on stones, shells of Mollusks or even attached to other calcareous Algae. The colour is in a dried state a light rosy, sometimes, however, with a greyish-green shade. The crust is at first almost orbicular, here and there with slightly crenulate margin. In an old state it becomes more irregular in outline, and more crusts founded near each other get fully confluent without any visible limit, at length forming an apparently solitary crust up to about 12 mm. in diameter, often, however, much smaller, or but 3 mm. in a fertile stage (f. minuta). But sometimes it almost covers small shells of Mollusks (f. simulans). It is smooth and not or very feebly shining. The smoothness of the crust depends how- ever on that of the substratum, although it appears sometimes to become a little uneven in an old stage even on a plain substratum, partly by

covering up small extraneous objects partly by scars after emptied concep- tacles being irregularly effaced, or the dropped conceptacles leaving small elevated edges not dissolved. The crust is in f. minuta frequently but 30—60 yw thick, in f. stmulans up to about 100 yw thick.

A vertical section of the crust shows an almost coaxilate develop- ment. The hypothallic cells are frequently rather elongated, up to about 25 » long, sending forth a rather feebly developed perithallic layer. The cells of the latter are partly roundish partly square, 7—10y in diameter, however often with the longest diameter now in horizontal now and more frequently in vertical direction, in the latter case exceptionally up to 14 long and 7 » broad.

*The conceptacles of sporangia are scattered or somewhat crowded in any part of the crust except the peripherical portion, convex, in f. mi- nuta less prominent than in f. simulans, towards maturity sometimes a little flattened in the central parts, in the former 300—400 % and in the latter 400—500 in diameter seen from above. The roof is intersected with about 40 delicate muciferous canals. The sporangia are four-parted in hoth forms, in f. minuta 60—70 » long and 25—30 uw broad, but in f. simulans 140—160 » long and 60—80 yw broad. However, this is perhaps not to be considered the average size, as I have examined but a couple of conceptacles owing to the scanty material.

The conceptacles of cystocarps frequently appear in other individuals than those of sporangia. They are conical and, as in other species of this genus, abruptly passing into a very short and thin tip. Also these are smaller in f. minuéa than in f. simulans, in the former 350—450 LB in diameter at the base and in the latter 500—600 yp.

Both forms are provided with the said organs in February, carpo- spores however more scarce than sporangia.

I have been in doubt whether f. simulans ought not perhaps to be considered as a separate species, but as I have seen only a solitary well developed specimen of this form I do not hesitate to keep it distinct, especially since the material also of f. ménuta is scarce and some of the specimens no doubt are somewhat stunted. Nor have 1 been able to draw any true limit, setting aside the proportionally large reproductive organs in the former. But also in other species a great difference as regards the conceptacles sometimes is to be seen, for inst. in Lithotham- nion laeve. The forms have been found under different conditions which not unlikely have had some influence on their development such as for instance in the said species as well as L. Lenormandi.

The present species stands nearest to L. Lenormandi and reminds one in habit of young specimens of f. sublaevis. It approaches this form also as regards the conceptacles of sporangia, while those of cystocarps are different.

Cyperaceae by C. B. Clarke Kew.

I have prepared a list of the Cyperaceae collected in Koh Chang, 24 species of these 14 are maritime species, 5 are rice-field weeds; Rynchospora aurea Vahl is widely scattered; Fimbristylis Hookeriana Boeck. has been hitherto known only from 2 localities 300 miles apart. Of the maritime species, a few are strictly maritime; a few re-appear in the lower hills, while they are absent from the plains; the greater number while common on the sea-coast occasionally occur inland. As to Fimbristylis Hookeriana Boeck. it grows in large quantity in its two known habitats; and it may be expected to be met with hereafter between Khasia and Koh Chang.

The 24 Cyperaceae of Koh Chang all occur in British India, except Fimbristylis cymosa R. Br., a species common in Malaya and Polynesia. They are arranged diagnosed and described in Sir J. D. Hooker’s Flora of British India. I have therefore not copied over again what is printed there, but have given a reference to it, and to the Journ. Linn. Soc. v. 34 [1898] which gives the localities of the species in British India.

The Flora of British India, being a local Flora, does not in general cite synonyms or localities foreign to India. I have given below as ,Additional synonymy“ and ,Additional Geography‘ the synonymy and geography referring to plants collected in and round Siam; and also, in a slighter degree, some of the general synonymy and geography.

I have added no ,species inquirendae* ; there are several hun- dred species of Cyperaceae collected in Eastern India, China, Malaya; it would cause no surprise for any one of these to be met with in Siam. It is better, therefore, for the present, to confine the Koh Chang list to the Primitiae of the Flora collected there.

In this case as in many others, there are half-a-dozen species admitted, which are so closely allied to Hypol. latifolium that they might be sunk in it (some have been so sunk by some authors); to do this would of course widen considerably the geographic range of the species.

This species is largely maritime; but, like Hypolytrum latifolium (& others), is reappears at the base of the Mountains, 250 miles from the sea.

Scleria levis Retz belongs to the group of Seleria which has (Hook. f. F]. Brit. Ind. v. 6, p. 692) ,Leaves (that is those next below the bracts) imperfectly opposite or ternate*. In the Koh Chang plants the uppermost leaves below the bracts are not imperfectly ternate. This leaf-character | consider as of smal] importance except for a first sorting of Scleria.

Diese Art wurde von mir auf Grund der von Ridley bei Pulau Besar (Malacca) gesammelten Exemplare unterschieden, mit denen das auf Koh Chang gefundene ganz identisch ist. Spater sendete mir Ridley auch Exemplare von Pekan, welche ich ihm als eine ,forma minor‘ des P. Ridleyi bestimmte; ich sehe jedoch jetzt, dass sie besser zu P. latifolium u. zw. zu der in Indien verbreiteten Form dieser Art, die vielleicht als Varietaét abzutrennen sein wird, gehéren. Vielleicht lagen dem Verfasser der Flora of Brit. India eben solche Exemplare aus Malacca vor, wesshalb. er die Art mit P. latifolium L. identificierte. Letzterer Name, der vielfach theils fiir P. divaricatum L., theils fiir P. Walteri Poir. in Gebrauch stand, ist wohl mit Recht von Hooker fiir P. oryzoides Sw. (P. zizanioides H. B. K.) vorgezogen worden, denn Linné betont schon in der ersten Ausgabe der Sp. plant. die ,flores majusculi*, welche dem P. Walteri Poir. (P. latifolium Asa Gray etc.) nicht zukommen. Auf P. divaricatum passt seine Diagnose. , nicht im mindesten, und die Anwesenheit eines Exemplares desselben im Herb. Linné unter P. latifolium berechtigt nicht zur Ubertragung des Na- mens, denn auch P. oryzoides Sw. befindet sich als P. latifolium in Linné’s. Herbar. und nur auf dieses passt seine Beschreibung vollstandig.

Appendix: Bambuseae.

Es sind 2 Arten von Bambuseen in der Sammlung vorhanden; davon gehdrt die eine zur Gattung Bambusa, doch kann die Species nicht sicher bestimmt werden, da bloss Bliiten und keine Blatter vorhanden sind; die andere ist auch inbezug auf die Gattung zweifelhaft geblieben, da ausser Blattern nur sehr unentwickelte Ahrchen, an denen noch gar keine Bliiten- theile entwickelt sind, vorlagen.

Several species of Bamboo occur in Koh Chang often forming dense thickets.

Pteridophyta’) by H. Christ Basel.

Ferns from Siam are rather scarce in the collections, and this Empire, between well known Burma and pretty well explored Tonkin, forms a blanc, which the Danish Expedition has diminished in a very satisfactory manner.

On account of the small size of Koh Ghang and its short di- stance from the mainland, | think we are right in supposing that the present fern-collection will be only a scanty extract of the flora of the Continent. Notwithstanding, it characterizes very well this region as a transitory one between the Malayan Peninsula and the most Eastern shores of Asia, in other terms: between the Monsoon flora and the Chinese flora.

On the whole the ferns of Koh Chang belong decidedly to the former, but some species will clearly show the influence of the datter: Alsophila podophylia, known from Hongkong, 8. W. China and Tonkin (Pére Bon), Brainea insignis, from S. W. China (Henry). Tonkin (Billet) to Assam are of this number.

As to rarities or endemic forms in an island of so small a size we might not expect many surprises. Nevertheless, the fern-flora of Koh Chang is by no means a poor one. Among the usual Malayan species we meet with Adiantum Bonit Chr., a native plant of Tonkin (Pére Bon) and closely allied to A. Levinge: Baker, Summary 27, of Sikkim, to A. Celebieum Chr., Ann. Buitenzorg XV, 1, of Celebes and to A. Hosei Bak.

Fresh Water Chlorophycez

by W. West F. L.S. and Prof. G. S. West B. A. Bradford. (With plate 2—4).

The following contribution to the flora of the island of Koh Chang has resulted from the examination of a number of collections of freshwater Chlorophycece made during the stay of the Danish Expedition in Siam in 1899—1900. The collections were preserved in weak alcohol or formaline and were twenty four in number.

Very few filamentous Chlorophycee were obtained, the chief of which were four species of Gdogonium and four of Spirogyra, one species of each of these genera being quite new. Two of the col- lections from stagnant water in the jungle were rich in various free-swimming Palmellacee. Some four or five of the collections contained a number of Desmids, many of which have proved to be very interesting.

The only papers dealing with freshwater Algee from this region of the world are: Joshua on ,Burmese Desmids“ (1886);

To these may be added a paper by Liitkemiiller on »Desmidiaceen aus den Ningpo-Mountains in Centralchina* (1900). The following is a summary of the Chlorophyce observed: Genera Species

Total.... 30 121

Of the above, 9 species and a number of varieties are here described for the first time.

In addition to the above several sterile species of Spirogyra, Zygnema, Mougeotia, Bulbochete, and Cidogonium were observed, and also a few fragments of a species of Chaetophora.

A large quantity of this Gdogonium was seen from stagnant water and the plants were in abundant fruit. The oospores are rather remar- kable being somewhat rectangular in outline, and having a wall which is apparently formed by an increase in thickness of the wall of the oogonium. Thus, when the spore is ripe there is no differentiation between the oospore and the oogonium, and the ripe oospores are set free by the breaking up of the filaments. Only one example of the antheridia was observed and this was only a fragment. From its general appearance it is highly pro- bable that the antheridia are many-celled, but this point could not be definitely determined.

It may be compared with CG. fabulosum Hirn from which it is easily distinguished by its larger size and its differently shaped oospores, which completely fill the oogonia.

We place this plant under @. dioiewm Carter owing to the relative size of the filaments and the peculiar oogonia, which the oospores do not fill. It agrees with Carter’s species in everything except the length of the cells, which are proportionately a little longer.

The tubercles, which are situated just below the apex, were about 24 in number. They are much less conspicuous than the tubercles of many other Plewrotenia of this nature, and consist of somewhat slight plications of the cell-wall at the apex. In fact, the tubercles of all Plew- votenia of this nature are primarily due to a series of short (but pro- minent) foldings or plications round the apex. In a few species these plications are surmounted by actual bead-like outgrowths, but this is not often the case.

We have previously shown this plant to be a Micrasterias and not a species of Euastrum (cfr. Journ. Lin. Soc. 1897, p. 162), but we give

here for the first time a complete description of the typical plant. It stands nearest to Micrasterias Americana Ralfs.

guished from the typical form by the reduced lobules of the lateral lobes and the greater attenuation of each extremity of the polar lobe. It re- ceives its name from its resemblance to those species of Micrusterias which were at one time placed under Teérachastrwum.

This occured in enormous quantity on rocks in a riverbed and the zygospores were abundant. We have previously described what we then thought to be this plant in zygospore (cfr. West & G. S. West in Journ. Roy. Micr. Soc. 1896, p. 154—5, t. IV, f. 35; West in Notarisia 1892, p. 1502), but we can now definitely say that is was not. The Cosmariwm we described from Portugal as_C. lave with zygospores (,zygospore glo- bose’ spinis brevibus numerosis truncatis bifidisve ornate“) is certainly not C. leve Rabenh., but some other closely allied species with smooth cells and a spiny zygospore. We are sure of this because we have now obtained C. leve Rabenh. in zygospore in such great quantity.

These specimens were exactly like those from Ceylon and Singapore, and all possessed the large conical pore which passes through the thickening at the basal angles of the semicells. ‘Turner, who misinterpreted the nature of this pore, figured it as a spine at the angle, and thus created a new name ,C. palustre’ for typical specimens of the large form of C. obsoletum so abundant in tropical Asia.

After much consideration we have come to the conclusion that this must be described as a distinct species. The shape of the semicells and the wide isthmus are characteristic. Perhaps the nearest species are C. melanosporum Arch. and C. nitiduliim De Not., but from both ‘these species it is easily distinguished.

This Stawrastrum of which we observed several examples, has been referred to S. echinatum Bréb. after much consideration. It is certainly not a form of S. teliferum Ralfs., neither is it a form of S. gladiosum Turn., the only other species with which it could be confounded. Bré- bisson’s figure in Ralf’s ,British Desmids‘ (l.c.) is a very poor one, and yet our plant agrees with it in size, in outward form, in the depth of its constriction, and in relative length and number of the spines.

From S. teliferum Ralfs it differs in its somewhat rhomboideo-ellip- tical semicells which cause a much more open sinus; the spines are more numerous, a little longer and more delicate; the angles of the vertical view are not so rounded, the sides are hardly so concave, and the spines are more scattered.

From S. gladiosum Turn. it is distinguished by its somewhat smaller size, by its relatively longer cells, its more angular semicells and slightly more open sinus; the spines are about the same in number, but they are slightly longer and more delicate, and are more or less evenly distributed over the whole of the semicells; the angles of the vertical view are not so rounded and’ the spines extend all over the central part (i.e. all over the actual dorsal region of the semicells of the Staurastrum).

The S. echinatum figured by Wolle (Desm. U.S. 1884, t. 45, f. 31 —32) does not represent the species, the spines being too short. That figured by Turner (in Kongl. Sv. Vet.-Akad. Hand]. Bd. 25, no. 5, 1893, t. VI, f. 48) may be a form of S. echinatum Bréb. but it does not agree sufficiently well with Brébisson’s figure in Ralfs ,British Desmids‘ to represent a typical specimen. The plant recorded by Schmidle (in Engler’s Botan. Jahrbuch. Bd. XXVI, 1898, p. 55) as ,S¢. echinatum forma ?* and figured by him (t. IV, f. 11) as ,S. echinatum Bréb.“ is much too short-spined for Brébisson’s species and is much nearer a small form of S. pilosum (Nag.) Arch.

Numerous examples of this fine Staurastvum were seen. The typical form was recently described by Liitkemiiller from the Ningpo Mountains in Central Ghina. The Siamese variety is relatively shorter and possesses more rounded semicells; the angles are more deeply lobed and distinctly mamillate, the mamillate lobes of one angle fitting into those of the other, thus causing a striking peculiarity of the sinus, the aperture of which is rarely visible.

The cell-wall is very much thickened at the mamillate angles and shows a marked lamination. Sometimes a few lateral wart-like excrescences are present on the opposed faces of two interdigitating lobes of the angles. The cell-wall is strongly punctate as in the typical form.

Numerous examples of this species were obtained from amongst Utricularia’in a riverbed. They varied a little in their general form and proportions, but the chief variation was in the small spines round the upper angles of the semicells. The majority of specimens possessed only the apiculations at the upper angles, but others possessed a variable

number (from one to four) of small spines arranged approximately in a ring round the angles.

In outward form it cannot be mistaken for any other species of the genus.

This variety occurred in large quantity amongst other Palmellacew in stagnant water. The coenobia were of all sizes and contained from two to eight cells. All the cells possessed the lateral ridges characteristic of this species. The small spines were very variable in number and position, but were always of appreciable length and generally considerably curved.

It bears a considerable resemblance to S. denticulatus var. linearis Hansg., but is readily distinguished by the two prominent ridges -on each cell of the ccenobium. The spines at the poles of each cell are also longer and more curved than in S. denticulatus Lagerh.

This is a true Boodlea and, as I think, a good species nearly related to B.coacta, but which by other algologists may perhaps be considered only a variety of the latter.

Our plant differs from B. coacta of which I have a specimen from Japan (leg. Okamura) beside me for comparison by somewhat less compact and less sponge-like habit, as the primary filaments, provided in part with much elongated joints, are not so densely beset with main branches. The density however of the branches of the second order and

Botanisk Tidsskrift. 24, Bind. 13

192

of branchlets is almost the same in both plants, but the latter are in our plant much more spreading. As to the tentacula they are quite evident in B. Siamensis, but they seem to occur less numerously than in B. coacta. The joints in the different parts of the frond of B. coacta are tolerably equal in length, while in our plant they generally vary not inconsiderably in length in one and the same part of the frond. Besides the joints of the primary filaments of B. Siamensis are thicker than in B. coacta.

By examination of material preserved in alcohol I can confirm the opinion uttered with some caution by Murray, who examined only dried specimens, ‘(of B. coacta), that the chromatophores agree wholly with those which Schmitz has described for the genus Siphonocladus. (see Engl. u. Prantl. Pflanzf. 1. p. 147, fig. 98).

I think the present plant cannot be separated from A. fastigiatus, but it represents a remarkably robust form. The fronds are (in exsiccatis) about 5mm. broad but less branched than the type in Zanardini’s figure.

For the rest our plant offers the same characteristic features as the main species; the tips of the segments, simple or forked, are rounded and the diameter of the frond is nearly the same in all parts of the plant.

(zonatim divisis) per frondem sparsis. Cystocarpiis ?? Chartae adhaeret.

The plant represents a true Rhabdonia by the structure of the frond, characteristic for this genus, together with the zonate tetraspores. Of all the known species of Rhabdonia the new species seems to be most nearly related to R. decumbens Grun. (Asken. Gazelle p. 46, t.2). Even on rea- ding the somewhat short diagnosis I had at first the conjecture, that the two plants, although living in very distant places of the world, were identical, but after having examined the figures of R. decumbens, I was convinced of the impossibility of uniting the two plants under one specific name.

Our specimens are so intricated and in part so closely attached one to the other and also to small grains from the ground (pieces of shells etc.), that it is very difficult and often even impossible to separate the fronds without injury or to make a preparation of an uninjured com- plete specimen. In the figures I have attempted to show the habit of the plant, but it would require a great number of figures to give a complete idea of the great variety in branching and of the diverse arrangements of the prolifications and excrescences. These latter growing out from the margin or the tips of the segments (or of the prolifications) and more seldom from the flat surface, are also of a very varying form, sometimes they are like warts or little cushions, then they resemble little teeth or roundish, simple or forked cilia, or more elongated and variously divided ones, which fringe the margins or terminate the tips of the segments. (Figg. 2—5 represent some different forms of the excrescences). The frond is not strictly articulated (as in R. clavigera, R. verticillata) but it is in part and in an irregular manner slightly constricted and dilatated alternately, so as to make sometimes the mar- gins of the frond unequal. The consistence of the frond is somewhat gelatinous so that the plant adheres firmly to the paper. I have not seen cystocarps.

The specimens show the structure and the other characteristic points of Gracilaria dura, a species much varying in its habit; but I think our plant represents a very distinct form, which should be fixed. In general, prolifications occur rarely in the genus Gracilaria.

Myxophyceae hormogoneae

by M. Gomont Paris. (With plate 5.)

Peu de travaux ont été publiés jusqu’ici sur les Algues de la partie Sud-Est de )’Asie, et les Myxophycées n’y sont représentées en général que par un nombre infime d’espéces'). Quant a la région méme. explorée par |’Expédition danoise et 4 la partie du continent qui lV’avoisine, nous ne pensons pas qu’aucun Algologue Pait jamais visitée. Les matériaux récoltés au cours de |’Expédi- tion danoise de 1899—1900 dans le golfe de Siam méritaient donc d’étre étudiés avec attention. S’ils ne nous ont fourni, que 27

1) Voici les seuls renseignements que nous a fourni a cet égard la littérature. Encore les territoires mentionnés dans les travaux ci aprés sont ils presque tous assez éloignés de la localité qui nous occupe.

G. von Martens Die preussische Expedition nach Ost-Asien, Bota- nischer Theil, die Tange, Berlin 1866. L’expédition a visité Java, Singapore, Siam, Macao, Hongkong, les Philippines et Macassar. L'ouvrage mentionne six Nostocacées seulement, des mers de la Chine et des iles de la Sonde List of Alge collected by Kurz in Burma; in Proceedings of Asiatic Society of Bengal, p. 462, 1871.

Quinze Anhomocystées et dix Homocystées figurent dans ce travail. Elles proviennent de Singapore, Ceylan et Sarawak dans ile de Borneo.

Zeller, Alge collected by M. Kurz in Arracan and British Burma, in Journ. Asiatic Soc. of Bengal, vol. XLII, part IL, p. 165, 1873.

La liste donnée par l’'auteur comprend 24 Homocystées et 36 Anhomo- cystées.

Heydrich, Beitrige zur Kenntniss der Algenflora von Ost-Asien, in Hedwigia, Band XXXIII, p. 267, 1894.

Ce travail comprend les iles Formose, Liukiu, Bonin et deux des Mo- luques. Trois espéces de Nostocacées seulement sont indiquées dont une est indéterminée.

Des ouvrages beaucoup plus importants ont été publiés récemment par M. de Wildeman sur les Indes Néerlandaises, mais ces iles ne sont géné- ralement pas considérées comme appartenant a l’Asie.

203

espéces de Nostocacées hormogonées, il est & remarquer que, sur ce nombre, il s’en est réncontré deux nouvelles parfaitement ca- ractérisées,

Ces 27 espéces se répartissent entre 13 genres, dont 6 appar- tiennent aux Homocystées et 9 aux Anhomocystées. Si on examine le catalogue que nous en donnons, on s’apercoit immédiatement que les Algues & gaines épaisses et colorées l’emportent de beau- coup par le nombre des espéces et par leur fréquence. Ainsi, tan- dis que les genres Oscillatoria, Lyngbya, Phormidium, Hydrocolewm ne sont représentés chacun que par une espéce, les Scytonema et Stigonema en renferment treize & eux seuls. Deux Schizothrix seulement se trouvent, il est vrai, mentionnés sur notre liste, mais. le S. thelephoroides, qui est pourvu d’une enveloppe remarquable- ment épaisse et ferme a été récolté dans six localités différentes. On a done des raisons de croire qu’il abonde dans la région’).

Cette pénurie d’Algues 4 gaines minces ou molles peut n’étre qu’apparente et résulter du moment oti s’est faite l’exploration qui a eu lieu pendant la saison séche, c’est a dire & une époque ou les flaques d’eau peu profondes avaient disparu, ainsi que leurs hétes habituels. Or c’est 1&4 surtout que se rencontrent les plantes insuffisamment protégées par leurs enveloppes, comme les Oscillatoria, Phormidium, Nostoc, Anabena etc. Notons cependant que les ro- chers éclaboussés ou baignés par les cours d’eau permanents sont aussi ’habitat des espéces dont l’absence nons a frappé.

On pourrait conclure de cette derniére remarque que cette absence n’est pas purement accidentelle mais que, ainsi qu’on l’a maintes fois observé, les plantes les mieux adaptées aux régions tropicales sont celles qui trouvent dans |’épaisseur, la consistance ou la coloration de leur gaine une protection contre les sécheresses fréquentes et Vintensité de la lumiére.

Les données que nous avons pu réunir sur l’aire d’habitation des espéces ont été indiquées dans le catalogue qui suit. Il ne faudrait pas cependant s’en exagérer l’importance. Bien que les recherches aient été poussées assez activement dans cette direction

1) Ce n’est pas sans quelque étonnement que j'ai constaté l'absence du Por- phyrosiphon Notarisii dans les spécimens soumis & mon examen. Cette Homocystée, dont les gaines sont épaisses et fortement colorées, se rencontre en effet fréquemment dans toutes les régions chaudes. Elle a été notam- ment récoltée dans l'Inde par Kurz et Bélanger et a Ceylan par Fer- guson.

depuis que la systématique des Myxophycées est devenue plus pré- cise, il reste encore beaucoup 4 faire. Les observations que je présentais il y a huit ans, dans la Monographie des Oscillariées, sur l'état incomplet de nos connaissances géographiques sont encore vraies en grande partie et, méme en Europe, de vastes territoires sont restés jusqu’a présent inexplorés ').

25, B. maculans Gomont n.sp. (Planche V, fig. 5 a 7.)

Frondes plane, crustaceze, tenues, pagina inferiori rupibus arcte adheerentes, maculas atras, initio orbiculares, deinde confluentes ideoque ambitu irregulares, ad centimetrum et ultra latas formantes, e strato unico filorum composite. Trichomata torulosa, recta, pa- rallela, arcte congesta, muco tenaci agglutinata, inferne pseudo- ramosa, sepe medio affixa et utrinque erecta, 6—8y, basim versus tantummodo 4 » crassa; articuli irregulares, seepius subquadrati, inferne longiores; heterocyste subquadrate; hormogonize ad 70 y longze (v. s.).

Tandis que, chez les deux espéces de Brachytrichia connues jusqu’ici, les frondes sont globuleuses, le thalle de celle-ci est étalé et aplati, rap- pelant jusqu’a un certain point celui de l’'Isactis plana. Le mode de ramification, aussi bien que la place des hétérocystes, qui sont intercalaires et non basilaires, rend d’ailleurs impossible toute confusion avec ce der- nier genre.

Les filaments de la plante siamoise sont presque droits, trés serrés el paralléles; dans les B. Balani et Quoyi, ils m’ont paru plus laches et plus irréguligrement contournés. Enfin la fronde du B. maculans n'est jamais creuse, méme dans les parties les mieux développées, ni conformée de maniére 4 le devenir. Ces différences justifient l’établissement de la nouvelle espéce.

This species seems to be abundant in the Gulf of Siam. The spe- cimens observed agree well with Dadays figures; but sometimes the curvature .of the right posterior horns is less pronounced. As shown in fig. 4 the ventral face of the body is concave and the basilar parts of the posterior horns proceed in a nearly right angle to the transversal axis.

This species varies much in regard to length, direction and spinosity of the posterior horns. I saw forms agreing with Bergh’s figure (Orga- nismus d. Cilioflagellaten, Morphol. Jahrb. Bd. 7, 2, Taf. XIV, fig. 27), further a form with longer and more straight posterior horns (cfr. the quoted figure by Claparéde & Lachmann) and also the form figured by Ostenfeld & Schmidt l.c. fig. 19, where the posterior horns are short and ventrally bent. In the Gulf of Siam C. macroceras sometimes occurs in short chains (2 specimens together).

Compositae (== Asteraceae, Lindley) by C. B. Clarke Kew.

The Compositae sent me collected in Koh Chang by the Danish Expedition to Siam (1899—1900) are 19; and are all known from the Eastern part of British India, at elevations 0—400 metr. above the sea. The plant enumerated below as Blumea subracemosa is no real exception, as it might be almost, if not exactly, matched out of the innumerable forms of Blumew lacera in the Indian collections.

The low-level Compositae of Eastern British India consist of wide-spread tropical plants that accompany cultivation, of a few maritime plants, and of the universal Blwmea, the Hieraciwn of Bengal.

Sphaeromorphaea Russelianu is a rare plant, known to me only as a weed in cultivated land.

Wedelia scandens, Roxb., is known to me only as a strictly maritime plant, in the Mangrove swamps and Soondreeboom. Its distribution in Bombay is (fide D* Cooke) similar. It appears to be very widely spread quite close to the sea in the tropics.

140 949

As all the plants in the collection have been lately treated by Sir Joseph D. Hooker in the Flora of British India v. 3 [18814], I have given a reference for each species to that book instead of copying out all the synonymy. To shew the local geographic distribution, I have added references to

Mig. Fl. Ind. Bat. v.2 [1856] Vidal Pl. Vasc. Filip. Hemsley Known Pl. of China (in Journ. Linn. Soc. v. 23 [1886—8}).

The principal genus is Blumea, 6 ,species* or forms (besides Laggera). In dealing with these, I have only attempted to match the exemples of the Danish Expedition, stating where the match appears to me exact; and, if not exact, in what particular it does not quite agree. I have not made any attempt to revise the genus critically or to improve on Sir J.D. Hooker’s sorting and characters. Such a revision would occupy months, nor do I feel sure that the results would be an improvement. Similarly, as regards Wedelia scandens [Roxb. sub Verbesina], I have not sorted afresh the numerous examples of it in Kew, from Malaya, North Australia, Polynesia, mixed under numerous other names but nearly all of it included under the name Wedelia biflora by Bentham.

The present 19 species may possibly include nearly all the indigenous Compositae of the Island of Koh Chang; but there is a considerable number of rice-field Compositae, any other of which might turn up in cultivation; or, if carried to Koh Chang, become plentiful there.

Rhizophoraceae by Johs. Schmidt.

The Rhizophoraceae of our area are 8 and except one species, Caralliau integervima, which grows in the inland jungle, confined to the sea-shores and estuaries of rivers, forming the bulk. of the mangroves or tidal-forests so characteristic to Eastern tropical coasts, Along the shores of the Gulf of Siam the mangrove is very luxuriant and nearly all the species generally recorded from the tropics of the Old World occur here. Of the Rhizophoraceae') only one or two species (Kandelia Rheedii W. and Arn. and Brigitiera parviflora W. and Arn., see below) are wanting in the Siamese mangrove. As to Kandelia Rheedii it is said by Schimper (in Engler und Prant] Nat. Pflanzenfam. III, 7, p. 52) to occur from India to Hongkong and it is also quoted from the Malay Archipelago?) ; so we might expect to find it in the Gulf of Siam, but although I looked for it with great attention I was not fortunate enough to find it. It is widely distributed along the shores of the Bay of Bengal and is common in some places e.g. near Calcutta (according to a private communication by Mr. C.B. Clarke); but East of the Malay Peninsula it seems to be a rare plant and neither Schimper’) nor Karsten‘), who lately studied the Indo-Malayan mangroves, have found it. In a letter to me Mr. H.N. Ridley from Singapore writes: ,Kandelia Rheedii seerns to be very rare in our region. I have never been able to find it but once, in one of the rivers in Johore*. This is the nearest locality, that I know.

I have examined the specimens of Kundelia Rheedii contained in the Kew and Copenhagen herbaria. Those specimens doubtful

Abundant everywhere over the explored area forming with R. mucronata, Bruguiera gymnorhiza and Avicennia officinalis the bulk of the mangroves or tidal-forests of the coasts. In Koh Chang it is the most common species of the mangroves and seems to be very indifferent to the quality (rocks, mud, sand) and salinity of the ground on which it grows. A moderate sized tree (smaller than R. mucronata) with flowers and fruit in December, January, February. March.

Area: All Eastern tropical coasts (not in Africa).

portant distinguishing character is found in the petals, as it has already been sufficiently pointed opt by Arnott 1.c. p. 364: ,In the first species (C. Candolleana) the petals are only furnished towards the apex with about three stout bristles of equal thickness on each side giving to them a pal- mate appearance‘. But in C. Roxburghiana the petals are setoso-ciliate above towards their apex (fringed by numerous small bristles). Karsten states another good discriminating character in the position and directior of the sepals; I.c. p.10 he says: ,Die Kelchblatter der ersteren Art (C. Candolleana) bleiben ganz am Rande der Frucht inserirt und stehen ab, diejenigen der Ceriops Roxburghiuna riicken weit auf die Fruchtwand selbst hinauf und legen sich derselben an.‘ .

Podostemaceae by Eug. Warming Copenhagen.

The Danish Expedition has been so fortunate as to find a new Podostemacea, the first known from Siam. As far as I can see it is a new species. In habit, size, the structure of stem, form of leaf and more particularly in the flower having only one stamen it much resembles the Podostemon metzgerioides published by Trimen in 1892 (Handbook of the Flora of Ceylon, part Ill, p. 419, pl. 76), which latter, however, differs widely from it in other respects and is now (1900) placed under a new genus Farmeria by Dr. John Willis (see Trimen’s Handbook part V, Additions p. 286). Strangely enough during the last few years there has been found a third monandrous Podostemacea in Asia (Java), viz. Cladopus Nymani Hj. Moller, and in some points the Siamese Podostemacea approaches close to this species also.

I have named the new Siamese species Polyplewrum Schmidtia- num in honour of the finder.

Regarding the reasons why I prefer recording Hooker and Bentham’s subgenus Polypleurum as a distinct genus and prefer placing the new Siamese species under it I beg to refer to my 6" paper on the order Podostemuceae in the »Kgl. Danske Videnska- bernes Selskabs Skrifter* 1901, where both Polypleurum Schimidtia- num and Cladopus Nymani are figured.

I give the following diagnosis of it:

Polypleurum. P. Schmidtianum Warmg. n. sp.

Radices in rupibus repentes, iisdem arcte adpresse, late lineares, planee, irregulariter subdistiche ramose. Caules in facie superiore radicum prope margines nascentes brevissimi, foliis paucis (ad 5—6) instrneti. Folia disticha simplicia, linearia, obtusa. Flos in caulibus solitarius terminalis, primum inter folia duo ad basin in vagina ampliata occultus, dein emergens longe pedicellatus. Spathella

rupta ad basin pedicelli relicta. Stamen unicum, basi in utroque latere squamula perigoniali anguste lineari, filamento fere equilonga, munitum.

Radices ce. 2—4(—6) mm. late. Folia 5—8 mm. longa, 1/3—1/2 mm. lata. Pedicelli fructiferi 6—10 mm. long. Squamule perigo- niales c.1 mm. long. Stamina c.1,2 mm. longa. Styli duo, rarius 3, longiusculi, lineares acuti. Capsula matura non visa; immatura c. 1,5 mm. longa.

With regard to figures and a more exhaustive description I beg to refer to my 6% paper on the order Podostemacee in the ,Kgl. Danske Videnskabernes Selskabs Skrifter* 1901.

On rocks in quickly flowing water. Only met with in two localities, both in Koh Chang, viz. Klong Majum alt. 700 ft. and Klong Sarlakpet alt. 600 ft. in small waterfalls in the jungle; it does not grow where the stream is less rapid. The specimens from Klong Majum were collected on February 23"4 and were ste- rile, whereas those from Klong Sarlakpet found on March 15th bore flowers and unripe fruit which extended above the surface of the running water.

3. HL decipiens Ostf., n. sp.

Leaves oblong-elliptic, their ventral surfaces hairless, but their dorsal surfaces and the margins covered with very fine, short, uni- cellular star hairs or teeth; the same hairs are found on the out- side of the scale- and spathe-leaves; from the midvein of the foliage leaves 6—9 lateral veins pass on each side outwards to the intra- marginal vein; the petioles 1/2—1 time as long as the lamine.

Plants moneecious, flowers unisexual, 1 male and 1 female flower enclosed in the spathe-leaves, corresponding in regard to structure etc. very closely with those of H. Baillonis (see: Theo.

Halophila decipiens Ostf.; nat. size.

The Expedition has brought home a large material of this new Halo- phila, as well flowering as fruitbearing specimens preserved in alcohol. It resembles very much the Westindian H. Baillonis. 1 have examined for comparison a very large alcohol material of the latter (amongst other the same specimens as Mr. Theo. Holm has used for his above men- tioned carefull treatise), and I have found but a slight difference between this and the new species; the main difference consists in the absence of the short hairs on the ventral surfaces of the leaves in the new species, while H. Baillonis has short hairs on both sides. If the geographical distribution was not so quite different, I. should prefer to regard it as a variety of H. Baillonis, but it is not probable to suppose such a connection as. the sea-phanerogams generally have very natural and limited areas and H. Baillonis is confined to the shores of the Westindian Archipelago.

From H. ovalis which is common along the shores of the Indian Ocean, the new species is very different; the moneecious flowers, the small teeth in the margins and the short hairs on the surfaces of the leaves, the few lateral veins etc. remove it far from this.

The collected specimens are sterile, the leaves very narrow, those from Koh Kong 1 mm., those from Koh Chang 0,5 mm. broad.

Ascherson!) and Sauvageau®”) mention a difference in the struc- ture of the leaf-end between the two existing species of Halodule, viz. that H. uninervis has a tooth in the middle of the leaf-end besides the two marginal teeth, while the West-indian H. Wrightii instead of the middle tooth has a kerf, but this difference does not really exist accor- ding to my researches. I have examined specimens of both species (H. Wrightii preserved in alcohol, from the Danish Westindian Islands), and found that the young leaves have three teeth (two marginal besides the middle-tooth), but the fullgrown ones have only the two marginal, the cells which have formed the middle tooth being destroyed and having fallen out, such as Sauvageau®*) has pointed out with respect to various other Potamogetonacee. On the whole it is not possible to distinguish

the two species when sterile, except using their quite different geographical distribution as criterion.

Leaves smaller, 2—5 cm.long, broadly obovate, deeply cordate with obtuse lobes and a triangular sinus, rather thin; flowers few (2—3) in the umbel; pedicels 3—4 cm. long; bracts ovate, obtuse, about 5mm. long; lobes of the corolla 5, oblong, 10—15 mm. long, covered in the margins and above with numerous long cottony papillose hairs, white with a yellow base; capsule ?, seeds?.

According to the above description it will be easy to see that this little pretty Limnanthemum differs in some important points from the or dinary L. indicum; but having only few flowers and no fruit at my dis- posal I prefer to regard it as a variety of L. indicwm hoping that future investigations will settle this point.

This species can only be compared with FE. Kandariensis K. Sch. which I formerly put with the other species of the genus Elettariopsis in the genus Amomum, Sect. Mastigamomum (Amomum Kandariense K. Sch. in Engl. Jahrb. XXVII, 323). It is conspicuously different from the latter by the much smaller leaves and the longer tomentum on the underside of the leaves.

The habit of this very peculiar plant goes far from what is generally known in the genus. Nearly all the other species are pretty large plants, this however is a dwarfy herb very similar to the species of Haplochorema from the Zingiberaceae. Indeed one may be uncertain to what family it belongs if not the swollen petiolus leads on the right place. It is a true Phrynium in the common sense of the genus up to date with a three celled ovary and solitary ovules in each cell. Two of the latter however perfectly disappear when the fruit ripens. It is related to P. spicatuim Roxb. but | think it would he better to make a new genus consisting of 4 species of the same region.

The name of Chomelia Linn. must fall against Tarenna because Linné himself had annihilated it, because he had not recorded a species of the genus and it has never been employed after him. The genus Tarenna Gaertn. whose type is the above named plant must he put on the head.

Common on riverbanks in the jungle all over Koh Chang. A moderate sized tree (n. 397, 422, 594, 529, 591a, 737).

This species has also been mistaken several times and very often taken as a new species and therefore described under many names. The full syno- nymy compare in the Fl. Brit. India. The oldest name is Webera oppositiflora Roxb. and therefore the above accepted name is to be preferred. It is a com- mon plant from East India to North Australia and China.

The following list of marine Plankton Diatoms is the result of an examination of the same 10 samples from which Johs. Schmidt?) has published the Peridiniales. All the samples were obtained from the surface of the Sea in the inner part of the Gulf of Siam and were preserved in formaline.

This is a list of the samples collected:

No. 1. 25/12 1896. Strait between Lem Ngob and Koh Chang. » 2 % 1900. Between Koh Kahdat and Koh Kut. » 3 #1 1900. S. of Koh Chang. » 4. 8/1 1900. W. of Koh Chang, N. of Koh Savan. » Dd. 1/1, 1900. W. of Koh Chang, 8. of Koh Savan. 6. 18/, 1900. S. of Koh Chang. , 7. 2/1, 1900. North End of Koh Kut. , & 78/1 1900. 7 miles S. of Koh Kut. , 9 4/1 1900. 18 miles W. of Koh Chang. 10. 24/3 1900. 1—2 miles 8. of Koh Kram.

The sample No.1 is rather rich, but the main part consists of detritus and the few present diatoms are partly dead and broken; the samples No.2 to No.7 also contain but few Diatoms and Nos. 8 and 9 nearly none, while they are rich in Trichodesmium and Hleliotrichum; they are of a more oceanic character than the other samples. On the other hand the sample No. 10 (gathered in March) is very rich in Diatoms as well in quality as in quantity, and it looks to me as if the coast-water in the Gulf of Siam in the spring produces a rich plankton, just as in our more temperate waters.

With regard to Plankton type in Cleve’s sense, I must admit that most of the present samples ought to be classified among » Tropical Neritic Plankton‘), except Nos.8 and 9 which belong to ,Desmoplankton*,

In the list the genera are arranged about as in F. Schiitt: Bacillariaceae in Engler & Prantl, Nattirliche Pflanzenfamilien, 1, 1b, 1896.

Behind the number of the sample I have indicated in brackets the frequency of the species by the ordinary plankton-symbols of frequency, Viz.:.

The interesting form of which I have given some figures, belongs to. the genus Palmeria and 1 prefer identifying it with the only known species P. Hardmaniana, although the figure by Van Heurck is rather different. My specimens are very delicate, 500—650 w long and 250—

300 4 broad, the valves are semi-lunate with very fine radiating points, hyaline central space and coarser points within the margins, but the more robust striz which Van Heurck |. c. p.539 mentions, are only obscure in my form. The girdle is very unequal, narrow on the straight side and very broad on the curved side, so that the whole frustule resembles a piece of an orange.

Curious is a curved fissure on the valves; in most specimens which I have seen, this fissure was a place of refuge for a little protist, probably

an Amphorella borealis (Hensen) Dad., var. nov.; the small, more or less numerous, organisms were fixed to the inner nae of the fissure.

Chromatophores are numerous, small, dispersed on the inner side of the frustules; the nucleus is placed close to the one vaive.

Professor Cleve J. c. seems to take this Jarge diatom as an assym- metrical form of Coscinodiscus nobilis, but 1 am quite convinced that this is not the case; on the other hand I believe, that the genus Palmeria is close to Coscinodiseus, and that Schtitt in Engler & Prantl has made a mistake in placing his Lwodia (incl. Palmeria) among the Biddulphioideue, remote from the Discoideae. 1 should prefer placing it close to the genera Ethmodiscus and Coscinodiseus.

Professor Cleve supposes (in his last paper (1.c.1902, p.55)) that the Indian C. secundum is the same as C. curvisetum from the Temperate Atlantic, but I can not enter upon this opinion, as the spores of C. secundum figured by Cleve himself (1873, Pl. Il, f. 14a) are rather different from the spores of C. curvisetum (see Gran, Protophyta, Pl. II, f. 22).

awns).

The systematical place of this small species is doubtful. Perhaps it is related to a ,fragliche Form* from New Yersey in A.S. Atl. tab. CCXIL, fig. 2, which seems to approach to Caloneis Egena A.S.

Hypotheca of this small species highly reminds of Navicula Rotewana Grun. var, oblongella Grun. (V. H., Syn. tab. XIV, fig. 21). But as I have seen both valves in situ, I am quite sure it is an Achnaathes.

Klong Majum. In the same sample where Ach. oblongella occurs I found a small form, which I have figured in tab. nostr., fig. 10.

Valve oblong elliptical, L. 0,018 mm., B. 0,007 mm., strize 10 in 0,01 mm., somewhat shortened so that an apical area arises. In specimens mounted in styrax it was impossible to see any raphe, but in a dry specimen I could catch a glimpse of a such one with distant central pores. As to the structure of the valve all the spe- cimens examined were identical. Thus I dare not decide if the present form is an Achnanthes or a Navicula.

Area: China, Australia.

The material examined by me is not particularly rich neither in individuals nor in species and a few samples only make an exception from this. More important genera are: Frustulia, Gom- phonema, Eunotia, in some samples also Synedra.

In samples from inland waterfalls in Koh Chang I especially found small Achnanthes and Cymbella gracilis vay., then Synedre and Hunotice.

In samples from riverbeds or pools Anomoeoneis exilis is predominant.

The samples from ricefields at Lem Dan are distinguished by con- taining some forms usually belonging to brackish water viz. Navicula Yarrensis, Niteschia scalaris var. Nitzschia Tryblionella var. and Coscinodiscus lacustris australiensis. The two Niteschia however may also be met with in freshwater. Also two marine forms have been found in the same samples viz. Amphora acutiusculu and Niteschiella longissima. As the shallow ricefields at Lem Dan are situated close upon the seacoast it is fairly explicable that such forms belonging to brackish water (and even a few marine forms) occur in the freshwater collections, but on the other hand is the presence of Achnanthes baceata, which I have only seen in samples from waterfalls, more difficult to understand. This species is pre-

41 259

viously known only from Ceylon where Leuduger-Fortmore] has found it in a sample ,recueillie . ... sur l’ancre d’un navire mouillé, par huit brasses d’eau, & Colombo, sur les cétes de Ceylan*. Certainly there is nothing to prevent that, at Colombo it might have been carried out into the sea with freshwater; however the whole habit of this species does not at all agree with Achnantheae from freshwater, but much more with marine forms such as Ach. brevipes. Perhaps the examination of the marine Diatoms collected by the Danish Expedition will prove that it also occurs in the Gulf of Siam, but its presence in elevated inland waterfalls is nevertheless very strange.

As to the general’ character of the flora so far as we can judge from the present samples of freshwater Diatoms, we must say that it is less pronounced by the present than by the wanting forms. Most of the species observed occur scattered round the world, a few have previously been recorded only from more adja- cent localities e. g. Navicula Stodderi (Bengal), Stauroneis anceps hyalina (Australia), Cymbella japonica (Japan), Funotia major octo- undulata (Banca), Desmogonium Rabenhorstianum (Banca and China), Denticula Van Heurckii (Japan) but none of those species occurs in such a quantity that it might be said to characterize the collec- tion in its entirety. The following genera are however either very sparingly represented or they occur in not typical species: Cymbedla, Epithemia, Cyclotella, Surirella, Fragilaria, Denticula and wanting are: Pleurosigma, Rhoicosphenia, Cymatopleura, Tabellaria, Diatoma, Meridion, Melosira.

This form must surely be considered a variety of A. moron., of which it partakes the very peculiar radiating structure of the processi- ferous sectors. On the other hand the sectors without processes do not possess the deltoid depression mentioned and figured by Grevllle, but are spotted on a ground of decussate striae.

KKt (only one specimen met with).

Area: A. moron. Moravian Tegel, where it hecomes somewhat larger (up to 0,26 mm.) and sometimes is more flattened and slightly hexagonal (Cleve Mor. Tegel P. 172). Moron deposit (Greville Lc.)

Among the many figures of 4. monilif. quoted by Rattray (Actinoc. P. 182) only the above by Hantzsch corresponds exactly to the form met with by me.

Area: ubiquitous.

NB. Rattray (Actinoc. p. 154) gives this species under .4. subcrassus Ratt., as he means that W. Smith’s A. /Eupodiscus)/ crassus (W. Sm. Syn. I, tab. IV, fig. 41) cannot be identical with the species figured by van Heurck ].c. and referred by him to A. (Eupodiscus) crassus W. Sm. In his Traité des Diat. p. 524—25 van Heurck however points out that the form figured by him agrees with original specimens of A. (Hupodiscus) crassus signed by W. Smith himself. A. (Hupodiscus) crassus W. 5m. is referred by Rattray (l.c. p. 173) to the widely distributed .Act. Ehren- bergit Ralfs.

Area: Bolivian Guano, Cape of Good Hope, Kerguelen Island, Table Bay, dredgings off Vancouver Island and off Heard Island.

Probably it is the same form that Cleve (Ind. Ocean & Mal. Archip. p. 32) quotes from Java sub A. Coscinodiseus curvatulus Grun.

21. A. subtilis Ralfs forma subtilissima. Cfr. V.H. Syn. tab. CXXIV, fig. 7.

Surface convex, diam. c. 0,13 mm., rows towards the centrum 16 in 0,01 mm.

K Kt (17 samples).

Area: the main species ubiquitous.

Dr. Henri Van Heurck, wo has been kind enough to compare the present form with typical 4. subt. from his rich collections, says that it differs: 1) par sa forme notablement plus bombé, 2) par sa grande minceur et sa fragilité, 3) par sa striation infinement plus fine. Ce serait done une forma subtilissima ou une espéce nouvelle trés proche du sub- tilissima que j’en ferais*; but Dr. Van Heurck adds ,n’ayant vu qu'une seule valve, je ne voudrais pas porter une jugement absolu, avant de faire cela il, faudrait voir et comparer un certain nombre de valves‘.

According to Rattray (Actin. p. 188) the size of the typical species is 0,0498 mm.—0.0757 mm.; the present form is nearly twice as large, but Dr. H. Van Heurck has sent me some photographical copies of an Actinoc. subt. from Sandwich Islands which had the same size; further Dr. Van Heurck tells me that he has specimens from the same place which are ,encore notablement plus grandes‘.

As it may be seen of my figure compared with those quoted above by Cleve and Van Heurck the present form is somewhat more elegant. Cleve (lc. p. 19) figures and mentions some ,strongly marked puncta‘, which are not very conspicuous in Van Heurck’s figure and that I have not seen in my specimens. Van Heurck thinks that the somewhat unsymmetrical sculpture shown in his figure ,ferait croire 4 une Euodiée“. Cleve whose figures do not show any unsymmetrical sculpture however points out that his Ruéilaria recens is ,very allied to the genus Cymato- sira Grun., of which the only known species C. Lorenziana Grun. has also marginal bristles‘. As my form do not possess ,strongly marked puncta‘, i. e. the character which should entitle its affinity to Rutilaria, and as it does not show an unsymmetrical sculpture, | am most inclined to think it allied to Cymatosira Grun.

The area of C. elongata Bail. is given by de Toni (1. c. p. 740) thus: ,in mari rubro frequens in primis ad Laurencias et in mari atlantico ad oras Americe borealis et Brasilie: ad algas ex insulis Canariensibus et ex insula Guadelupa‘.

I think that E. spathulatum is identical with Podocystis australica Witt (de Toni p. 602) and P. africana Leud. Fortm. (L.F. Afr. occid. p. 31, tab. VI, fig. 2). According to de Toni both P. africana and P. australica are small forms, their maximal length being 0,04 mm. The present form is larger, and thus it agrees well with the figure by Grunow in Wien. Akad. 1862, tab. X, fig. 18 which (measured on the figure) shows the dimensions L. c.0,1 mm., B. 0,05 mm. The form from Nankoori (Grun. Novara Exp. tab. 1 A, fig. 9) is still somewhat larger and by Leud. Fortm. (l.c. p. 31) the dimensions of £. spath. are given as L. 0,16 mm., B. 0,09mm. and of P. africana as L. 0,29 mm., B. 0,11 mm. However must be added, that the figures of Leud. Fortm. shows less dimensions.

This Plagiogramma of which I have seen but a single specimen agrees in its whole habit well with the above quoted figure by Greville, but it is much more closely striate. As I have not been able to see any longitudinal striation, I dare not refer it to P. interruptum (Greg.) Ralfs var. adriatica Grun. (Cl. Vega Exp. tab.

The specimens examined by me are often rather small and com- paratively broad (L. 0,015 mm., b. 0,008 mm.) and the apices less pro- tracted. It thus gets a certain resemblance to Gephyria sp. in Castracane (Chall. Exp. tab. XXV, fig. 19) and to Gephyria Castracanei Leud. Fortm. (la Mal. tab. II, fig. 8).

In a sample labelled ,Off Koh Kam‘ [ found a Raphoneis, of which I have (tab. I, fig. 6) given a figure. Probably it is R. bilineata Cl. & Grun. var. contracta Grun. (enfr. Cl. Vega Exp. p. 499).

As certainly belonging to 4. jav. var. rhomb. I refer my fig. 15 in shape agreeing with the figure by Petit in Diat. prov. de Madagascar fig. 8. My fig. 16 (Epitheca) shows two longitudinal lines and a blank spot at each end of the valve on the same side of pseudoraphe. In Achn. Bengalensis Grun. such spots are characteristic according to Cl. Syn. Il, p. 196, but here ihe fact is that ,at each end of the valve is a small blank spot on both sides of the area‘. I have seen a similar valve in connection with a hypotheca showing a conspicuous bifid stauros in- the same slide from which my figure is drawn. I suppose that this valve, in spite of the longitudinal lines being remoted from the margin is .an epitheca of . javanica which then possess similar ,blank spots“, though

The present form reminds a good deal Cycl. n.sp in V.H.’s Traité des Diat. p. 237, fig. 35, especially in the fact that the terminal nodi are situated out in the apices; further it do not possess a perforation in the central part like Cyc. tenuis Cast. in Perag.’s Diat. de Fr. tab.I, figs. 27 —32, the species to which it is nearest in size.

In spite of its more open striation I think this species must be re- ferred to the section parallelistriate of Cleve; then it is nearest to P. sublinearis Grun. or Pinn. leptosoma Grun., what the small terminal nodi also seem to suggest. In the sample from KKt occurs a shorter and comparatively broader form. L. 0,027mm., b. 0,01 mm.

This form is near to N. (Cal.) blanda A.S., about which Cleve says (Syn. I, p. 62) that the strize are ,not distinctly punctate*. As A.S. how- ewer in the text of his Atlas tab.

Valve lanceolate with somewhat protracted apices. Two lines forming a lyrate figure and nearly parallel to the margin are present. Marginal part conspicuously striated; on the inner part between the lines and raphe the strie are closer and more difficult to see. Narrow transapical area.

K Kt (2 samples). Area: N. mediop.: Oamaru (Grunow).

141 293

According to Cleve (Description of plates) this form perhaps ought to be referred to Nav. fallax Cl. or to Mastogloia. 1 must add that the present form has no resemblance to the figure of Nav. fallax Cl. (Syn. I, tab. V, fig. 24) and that I have seen no loculi in it.

151. N. (Pseudoamphiprora) decora Grev. = Stauroneis decora Grev. Tab. nostr. II, fig. 22. Cnfr. Grev. Tran. Micr. Soc. Edin. VIII, tab. Il, fig. 11.

KKt (2 samples).

Area: New Caledonia.

The present form is shorter and proportionally more slender than Greville’s. Cleve supposes that Stawron. decor. Grev. probably must be referred to Pseudoamphiprora, a subgenus in its systematic position between N. Lyrate and Caloneis (Cl. Syn. I, p. 70 & 72).

Nav. Scopulorwn Bréb. in craticular state = Climaconeis Lorenzi Grun. (Wien. Akad. 1862, tab. VIII, fig. 7) I have met with in a sample from TK. It has hitherto been found in Honduras, Adriatic, Java, Queens- land and New Caledonia.

Seriantes.

156. N. bipunetata Grun.? Tab. nostr. Il, fig. 30. Cnfr. V.H. Syn. tab. XII, fig. 7.

L. 0,044 mm., b. 0,0072 mm. Strize very fine.

Valve linear with sligthly undulate margins, attenuated towards the rounded apices. Strie at a right angle to sagittal axis, apical area narrow, in the middle a stauros by want of strie. Central pores very evident.

Found only in a sample from LN.

Owing to the very conspicuous central pores and the slightly undulate outline I have referred this form to NV. bipunctata Grun., which it resembles in its whole habit; however I have not been able to recognize the longi- tudinal striation of the figure quoted above.

Area: no locality has been given.

Van Heurckia Bréb.

167. V. H. siamensis Ostr. n. sp. Tab. nostr. Il, fig. 26.

L. 0,074 mm... b. 0,009 mm.

Valve linear elliptical with rounded apices. Raphe strongly asymmetric, enclosed between two silicious ribs, terminating in a outwards reflexed point. Strie very fine, parallel. I am not able to see any longitudinal striation.

KKm, TK (2 samples).

This species surely is near to Van Heurckia vulgaris Thw. var. asymmetrica Cl. (Cl. Syn. I, p. 122, tab. V, fig. 29), but as it is char- acteristic by its shape, the very asymmetrical raphe and the exceedingly fine sculpture, I preferred to regard it as a separate species.

Area of V. H. vulg. var. asymmetrica Cl., which is recorded as ,brackish*: Sierra Leone, Gameroon, Tasmania, Newark, N. Yers. fossil (Champlain epoch).

168. N. subglabra Ostr. n. sp. Tab. nostr. Il, figs. 23 & 24.

L. 0,059 mm., b. 0,016 mm. (fig. 23). L. 0,056 mm., b. 0,013 mm. (fig. 24). Strize inconspicuous. Valve rhombic-lanceolate. Central pores distant, terminal nodi distant from the apices.

With Zeiss Apoch. no. 2 and oblique illumination I think 1 have seen a striation at a right angle to the apical axis; with moderate power the valve gets a chagreen-like appearance. In its central part the valve shows like a tendence to a cicatrice-like figure, which is very conspicuous in other specimens, as I have figured it in my fig. 24. The latter form is somewhat smaller but otherwise on the whole agreeing with the former, so that I have no doubt that they belong to the same species, perhaps as hypotheca and epitheca. Moreover they occur both in the same sample from TK and only in this.

I am uncertain as to the systematic position of this species.

This small species reminds somewhat of M. Smithi Thw. var. conifera Brun. (Perag. Diat. de Fr. tab. VI, fig. 41), but owing to the narrow central area it ought to be considered a separate species.

I think this species is nearest to M. asperula Grun. (Cl. Le Diat. I, tab. IX, fig. 12), but I have preferred not to state it as a separate species, as I have only seen specimens either without or with incomplete loculi- ferous rim.

The longitudinal plication is not of equal height through its whole length but lower near the apices and in the middle so that two lateral elevated spots arise giving this form a very characteristical appearance. The de- cussate striation is only conspicuous on the elevated parts.

The specimens examined by me have a sharp plication along which the striz pass, but with moderate magnifying power the striation along the plication is not always easy to see, it therefore is possible that this striation has escaped the attention of Hantzsch.

In the specimens examined by me 41/2—5 carinal puncta are present in 0,01 mm., the central one of those being remote from the two nearest, a fact which however looks to be intimated in the figure by V. H. quoted above. The more spaced carinal puncta seem to give this form a position nearer to Gleve’s var. curvirostris. In my specimens the horns are turned in opposite directions, but like H. Peragallo (Diat. de France p- 293) I hardly think this character has any systematic value.

In a sample from KKt I found a form (Tab. nostr. II, fig. 34) which, if it really is a Diatom and not only a spore must probably be referred to Xanthiopyxis Ehr. The propositions are: L. c. 0,06 mm, b. c. 0,08 mm., everywhere provided with close radiant spines. Only one specitnen met with. It reminds somewhat of Podosira (Xanthiopyzis ?) spinoradiata Brun.

The present material examined by me has proved to be rather rich both in individuals and in species but on the whole it is rather uniform. Only seldom a single species is predominant in the samples such as Cocconeis binotata, Grammatophora oceanica, Mastogloia ineequalis, Synedra affinis, but I have not been able to point out any difference dependent on variation of the depths which range from one to ten fathoms.

The genera which characterize the material in its entirety are Cocconeis and Mastogloia, which occur in numerous samples and also often in a great number.

The following species are especially predominant: Actinocyelus subtilis var., Biddulphia pulchella, Climacosphenia elongata, Cocconeis binotata, Cocconeis fimbriata, Euphyllodium spathulatum, Grammato- phora oceanica, Mastogloia quvinqvecostata, Nav. (Dipl.) Crabro and variants, Navicula Lyra, Nav. (Trachyneis) aspera and variants, Rhabdonema adriaticum, Rhaphoneis amphiceros and variants, Synedru levigata and Triceratium dubiwm. Freshwater forms occur quite singly especially in samples from Lem Ngob (from the mangrove). Plankton forms are rare and occur only as fragments. I have not met with Achnanthes}baccata (compare Flora of Koh Chang, part VI, p. (40—41) 258—259). Nearly all the species met with by me are recorded from the Tropics and more particularly from the Malay Archipelago, which previously has been well examined by eminent diatomologists ').

The marine Diatoms of Siam have a tropical character but do not occupy a peculiar position among the other East-Indian marine Diatoms such as it might also be anticipated.

1) I have first been acquainted with the treatise of C. Mereschkowsky: On Polynesian Diatoms, St. Pétersbourg 1902, when my manuscript was already in press; I have therefore only been able to make use of it in noting the geographical distribution of the species stated in my treatise.

Taxaceae.

Podocarpus L’Herit.

1. P. Wallichianus C. Presl., Botan. Bemerk., p. 110, 1844; R. Pilger, Taxaceae in Engler: Das Pflanzenreich, Heft 18, 1903, p.59; P. latifolia Wallich, Plantae As. rarior., 1830, p. 26, tab. 30 (non P. latifolia (Thunb.) R. Br.); Hook. f., Fl. Brit. India, V, p. 649.

A young plant about 50 cm. high has been collected. The leaves are 10—11 cm. long and 2—2,5 em. broad; R. Pilger 1. c. quotes 3—4 em. broad, but perhaps the leaves are broader in the grown-up plants.

There have also been collected sterile branches of a plant which I consider as a unusually broad-leaved P. Wallichianus. The leaves are broadly ovate, 11—13 em. long and 5—6 em. bread, long acuminate. The branches resemble closely branches of Agathis, but the buds and their scales are acute as in Podocarpus, sect. Nageia, while Agathis has. obtuse bud-scales and rounded buds.

Note. In the collections from Koh Chang some sterile shoots of Pandanaceae occur, but | have not been able to determine them.

Smilaceae. Heterosmilax Kunth.

1. H. indica A.DC., Monogr. Phanerog., vol. 1, Smilaceae, p. 43; Hook. f., Fl. Brit. India, VI, p. 314.

Dr. Schmidt has brought home a specimen of a plant which un- doubtfully must be taken as a Heterosmilax; unfortunately the specimen has no flowers nor fruits, but the leaves and the umbel-peduncles with their receptacles and bracteoles agree well with specimens of H. indica in the Copenhagen-Museum, collected by the late Dr. Voigt in ,India orientalis* (0: Serampore or Calcutta). The leaves of Dr. Schmidt’s plant are 9—17 cm. long, 4—8 cm. broad, ovate-oblong, acuminate-cuspidate from the rounded-obtuse or subcordate base; the sheathing part of the petiole is very short and narrow.

The specimen collected was beginning to flower and no fruit is devel- oped, but I think that the short and dense inflorescence and the large

and broad bracts and bracteoles are sufficient to distinguish it from the allied P. aclisia Hassk.

Area: Madagascar and both coasts of tropical Africa (acc. to Bot. Maga- zine), The Concans, coasts of India, Ceylon, Malay Peninsula, Malay and Pacific Islands, North Australia. Commonly cultivated in the Tropics of the Eastern Hemisphere.

Note. The TY. viridis Hemsley (Hook. f., Icones P]., 2515—16, 1897) is nearly allied to the above species, and by the scarce material a distinction between these two species is hardly possible.

var. breviscapa nov. var.

Rhizoma subterranea erecta, brevis; petiola foliorum laevia, infra in vaginas dilatata, 10 (8—12) cm. longa; folia lanceolata vel elliptici-lanceolata, longe acuminata, 20 (15—30) cm. longa, 5 (3—7) cm. lata, levia, petiolo subduplo breviora; scapus floriferus petiolis duplo vel triplo brevior, 5—10 ecm. longus, levis; involucri folia 4, ovato-lanceolata, acuminata, sub- zequalia, exteriora 2—92,5 cm. longa, 0,7—0,8 cm. lata, 9—10-nervata; flores 3—5 in umbrella, petiolis brevibus (c. 1,0 cm. in statu fructifero) ; cirri longi numerosi; perianthium, stamina et stylus fere ut in 7. lanctfolia (Schnitzlein, 1. c.); fructus (submaturus) sicco-baccatus, 2 em. longus, perianthio persistenti coronatus, 6-alatus; semina numerosissima, oblique ovata, curvata, striata, 0,25—0,30 cm. longa, 0,15 em. lata.

Dr. Schmidt has brought home 4 dried specimens and some um- bels in alcohol of a Yacca which is allied to T. lancifolia Zoll. & Mor. in Java, but differs by the shorter stalked leaves, the very short scape ete.; the umbels preserved in alcohol and the three dried specimens have not full-developed flowers, only young buds; but there is one specimen with nearly ripe fruit. The form of the leaves and of the involucral leaves are about as in a javanese specimen of T. lancifolia, and consequently | think it better to consider the Siamese plant a variety, until we know the entire-leaved species of Tacca better. It seems to me, that they form a line from T. cristata Jack, T. integrifolia Ker. Gawl., T. laevis Roxb. to T. lancifolia Zoll. & Mor., the length of the scape and the differentation of the involucral leaves varying very much; therefore other characters are necessary for distinction.

The Indian plant figured by Schnitzlein (1. c.) from a specimen sent by Wallich belongs beyond doubt to T. lancifolia; 1 have also seen a specimen from Wallich’s herbarium which is like javanese T. lanei- folia, only being a little larger.

Ind. v. 3, p. 54, a Sylhet plant, differs much in the size, shape and texture of the leaves, in the calyx-teeth 5 only, subtruncate; and appears speci- fically distinct enough from Sphenodesma Jackiana. But there are inter- mediate sub-species or varieties, of which Sph. acuminata Wight Ic. PI. Ind. Or. t. 1476 is one; and in the Flora of British India, the whole series was united in one broad species as had been previously done in the Kew Herbarium. At all events, the Koh Chang example is typical’ Sphenodesma Jackiana Schauer.

Contributions to the knowledge of the vegetation in the Gulf of Siam.

By Johs. Schmidt.

Part IX.

(U. Dammer: Palmae. C. H. Ostenfeld: Lentibulariaceae. Edw. A. Wainio: Lichenes).

Palmae by U. Dammer Berlin.

The small collection of Siamese Palms brought home by the Danish Expedition consists of 20 samples and in addition to those 4 species are recorded by Dr. Schmidt.

The collection is of special interest being one of the first made in Siam. 11 genera and 12 speciés are represented. A few samples are unfortunately so incompletely developed that a doubtless identification is impossible, this being specially the case with the seedlings of Calamus. All the plants collected are typical inhabitants of the hot and damp regions (resp. tropical coastal regions).

The species of Calamus and Daemonorops have been deter- mined by the monographer of these genera O. Beccari who found a new species D. Schmidtianus amongst them.

Phoenix Linné.

1. P. paludosa Roxb. Hort. Beng. 75; FI. Ind. 789. Syn. P. sia- mensis Mig. Palm. Archip. Ind. 14.

The specimens collected by Dr. Schmidt differ from the typical Ph. paludosa Roxb. in having the segments of the leaves arranged in fas- cicles; besides this the male as well as the female inflorescences are much shorter than those of the type, resembling very much those of Ph. humilis Royle var. Roebeleniit (O’Brien); but the basilar embryo shows clearly that the specimens belong really to P. paludosa Roxb.

This new small species is mostly related to U. affinis Wight (incl. U. brachypoda Wight), but differs: lower lip of corolla 3-lobed (not scarcely emarginate), spur straight (not slightly curved), cells of the seed- testa very few in number, and especially the peculiar scape of the bladder- appendices, of which the figures (Fig. |) should give some idea.

c. 5 mm. longum, inferius obcordatum emarginatum, c. 10 mm. latum, c. 8 mm. longum; palatum valde elevatum (galeiforme), laeve; calcar elegans, angustum, 6—7 mm. longum, leviter cur- vatum; capsula ovoida; semina subglobosa vel globoso-ovoidea, scrobiculata, c. 0,30 mm. longa, cellulae testae leviter denseque striatae.

Related to U. bifida and U. Wallichiana Wight; it has about the same shape of the seed-testa and of the bladders as U. bifida (see Fig. 2), also the prominence of the innerside of the bladder-stalks mentioned by Goebel (Ann. Jard. Buitenzorg, IX, 73, fig. 54) occurs in our species, the leaves, stolons and rhizoids are very like those of U. bifida, but the leaves are much more numerous and large, further 3- (rarely 5-) nerved (not uninerved). It is also easily distinguable by the long flower-stalks, the large underlip of the corolla and the narrow spur.

H. N. Ridley (Journ. of Botany, vol. 33, 1895, p. 11) describes an U. involvens from the Malay Peninsula (Kedah), which comes near to our species. It differs in the narrower leaves, the much higher stem (“‘circiter pedalis”), the shape and largeness of the calyx lobes and the straight spur, but the descriplion is very incomplete, e. g. the bladders and the fruit are not mentioned.

Very common in river-beds in the jungle all over Koh Chang. Some specimens were submerse, other terrestrial. Flowers yellow. Collected (with flowers) at Klong Munsé (Jan. 5th & 18th (No. 61), Klong Son (Feb. 28th, No. 679b), and Klong’ Prao (March 8th, No. 704 a).

Contributions to the knowledge of the vegetation in the Gulf of Siam.

Part X. (Conclusion.) (Arranged by Carl Christensen)

(C. B. Clarke: Ochnaceae. E. Gilg: Loganiaceae. F. Pax: Euphorbiaceae. L. Radlkofer: Sapindaceae. R. Schlechter: Asclepiadaceae. C. H. Osten- feld: Various families. 0. Warburg: Various families. W. G. Craib: Va- rious families. —- Various families determined by different botanists. Carl Christensen: Filices. Additamenta to the earlier parts. Johs. Schmidt: Concluding remarks. Index to genera and new species).

Having received from the botanists who determined the rest of his Siamese collections, the mere names only of the determined specimens, together with descriptions of the new species, Dr. Jous. Scummpt asked me to arrange this last part. of the ‘Flora of Koh Chang” in order to bring it into accordance with the scheme followed in the earlier parts. Ihave quoted J. Hooker: Flora of British India throughout, receding from that standard work in nomenclature and delimitation of species only in such cases where the botanist who had determined the species has had a different view.

Since the first parts of “Flora of Koh Chang” were issued (1900—4) not a few important contributions to the Siamese flora have been published; a list of these is to be found in Cram: Contributions to the Flora of Siarn, Aberdeen University Studies no. 57, 1912,

which paper is a reprint (with additions) of papers published by the author in Kew Bulletin 1911 pp. 7—60 and 385—474, while the second part, containing the Monocotyledones, is published in Kew Bull. 1912, pp. 397435. In these papers the majority of the species found by Dr. Scumipr are listed with references to newer works relating to the flora of Siam and Indo-China, and I have, therefore, found it unnecessary to repeat these references, but have confined myself to quote Craib: Contr. Fl. Siam.

Filices. Revised by Carl Christensen Copenhagen.

While preparing Part X of the Flora of Koh Chang I found, on sorting the material, that several of the ferns collected by Dr. Johs. Schmidt, and determined by Dr. H. Christ in 1900 and published in Part III of the Flora (Bot. Tidsskr. 24: 102—113), were apparently incorrectly named. I therefore undertook a thorough revision of the determinations, and the result was somewhat sur- prising. On my informing Dr. Schmidt of this he asked me to prepare a revised list of the ferns of Koh Chang. In the following list, all the ferns collected are enumerated, with the numbers of the speci- mens added (these being unfortunately omitted in the first parts of the Flora of Koh Chang). I have throughout referred to Christ’s list, where informations of localities, area of the species, etc. can be found. I use of course the nomenclature of my Index Filicum; as will be seen, it differs greatly from that followed by. Christ 15 years ago.

5. T. siamense Christ, 1. c.

Klong Munsé (no. 401).

Christ incorrectly makes this a subspecies of J. rigidum Sw.; it resembles that species by its tufted fronds, rigid texture and brown colour, but otherwise it is very different, e. g. its rachis being distinctly winged throughout. Christ's description is somewhat inadequate. The lobes are not finely denticulate, but entire, the sori not free, but fully immersed to the mouth in an anterior tertiary lobe, leaving only a narrow margin of the lobe free as a wing to the sorus. The erect, short, branched rhizome is clothed at the growing apex with numerous dark-brown, cylindrical, articulated hairs.

The affinity of this species is probably with 7. hispidulum Mett. from Malacca and Borneo.

To this species probably belong some small tufts of a little young fern found in the jungle on rocks near Klong Munsé (sine num.). It was determined by Christ as 7. nanum v. d. B., Ghrist, lc. = 7. Kurzii Bedd., GC. Chr. Ind. 643, ‘but this, belonging to the subgenus Hemiphlebium, has nothing to do with our plant. Unfortunately, the small plants are all sterile, but in many characters: the tufted fronds, the hairs, the colour and texture, etc., they resemble very much 7. siamense, of which I therefore consider them to be young plants.

(TZ. rigidum Sw.; Christ, 1. c. Specimens not found in the collection, the species must be excluded.)

Klong Munsé, river bed in the jungle (no. 720).

It is possible that this fern may be a very small form of A. glabra; the upper part of the leaf resembles very much the outer part of a pinna of that species, still I believe that it is specifically distinct. I am con- vinced that it is not identical with the South Chinese A. podophylla Hook., as Christ suggested. This is said to have black basal scales and a muricate stem. The rows of sori in A. kohchangensis are not shaped like an inverted V as in A. glabra, and its much reduced lower pinne and pinnulae are a character not mentioned in the descriptions of A. glabra and A. podophylla to which I have access. 4. dubia Bedd. is an allied species, but according to description and figure rather different. Cyathea Bonii Christ, referred by Christ himself to A. podophylla, is according to the description very near to our species, but Christ describes the pinne: e basi dilatata late lanceolatis.

This species, common from Japan through tropical Asia and Poly- nesia, has been collected fairly frequently in later years in South Brazil and adjacent countries. Probably it has been introduced there and escaped from gardens.

The form collected is larger than the Chinese type (pinne 6 cm. long by 2 cm. broad), but in technical and minute characters not very different. From the following species it differs by its short but broad, little inciséd pinne, the lamina with a long pinnatifid apex, and the very short pubescence of both surfaces. Nephrodium pennigerum Bedd., now called D. indica v. A. v. R., to a variety of which: malayense Bedd. Christ referred our specimens, differs by having 5—8 pairs of anastomos- ing veins.

Another specimen collected at Klong Son (no. 771) I provisionally also refer to D. latipinna. It looks very different, in general habit much more like D. parasitica, from which it differs by its less cut pinne; in this character as in others (pubescence and the long pinnatifid apex of the lamina) it agrees with no. 745 b, but its pinne are narrower (1 cm. by 6 cm. long), more acuminate, and the under-surface is dotted with large red glands. It is not unlikely an undescribed species.

Area: China, Java(?).

12. D. parasitica (L.) O. Ktze.; C. Chr. Ind. 282 ex parte; Aspidium parasiticum Christ, 1. c. 109. (no. 771 bis).

The form collected certainly belongs to the collective species D. parasitica. It is a very hairy, didymosorous form that with approximate certainty can be identified with Nephrodium tectum (Wall.) Bedd. Handb. Suppl. 79, although the rhizome is short-creeping. Beddome refers to N. tectum his N. didymosorum Parish, Ferns br. Ind. t. 200 from Burma, which 1 have shown is apparently exactly the same form as the true D. parasitica from China (Arkiv for Bot. 9 no. 11: 26—28). I am not nearly so convinced that the Koh Chang form, like A. tectum Wall. from Singapore and Perak, is typical D. parasitica.

18. L. sealpturatus (Fée) C. Chr. Ind. 387 (excl. syn. omnibus, Heteronevron scalpturatum Fée exceptum), var. undulatus var. nov. Gymnopteris costata var. undulata Christ, 1. ¢. 109, (no. 891).

The nomenclature of certain species of Leptochilus § Heteronevron (Fée) is confused. In Ind. Fil. 387 I have identified Acrostichum costatum Wall. Gymnopteris costata Bedd. with Heteronevron scalpturatum Fée, Acrost. 95 t. 56, because Fée himself, although with doubt, referred A. costatum Wall. to his described and well illustrated species. A com- parison of Fée’s illustration (Acrost. t. 56) with specimens of A. costatum Wall. from Assam, leg. G. Mann, shows at once that we have here two widely different forms. The form illustrated by Fée is, according to authentical specimens examined by me, collected near Manila by Gaudichaud; it is in venation not materially different from <Acr. contaminans Wall. = Leptochilus virens C. Chr. Ind. 388, but it has broader and shorter sterile pinne with red veins, and much broader fertile pinnae. Acrost. virens Hook. et Grev. Ic. t. 221 has similar pinne, but the venation is very different, about as in A. costatum Wall.; A. crispatulum Wall., Clarke, Ferns of N. India t. 84 B, D, has often red veins, but its pinne are much narrower. I am inclined to believe that the following three species may be maintained.

Leptochilus costatus (Wall.) C. Chr. comb. nov.; Acrostichum costatum Wall.; Gymnopteris costata Bedd. etc. (see Ind. Fil. under L. scalpturatus), with var. Meniscium deltigerum Wall. —? Notho- chlaena undulata Wall.

The specific name of this species I have not changed, although it is an open question, what A. virens Hook. et Grev. may be; probably it is a form allied to ZL. costatus. The proper name. of the species ‘is perhaps contaminans; still some other forms now referred to the present species have been described and illustrated before contaminans.

L. sealpturatus (Fée) C. Chr. Ind. 17, 387 part.; Heteronevron scalpturatum Fée, Acrost. 95 t. 94.

Philippines, Malaya, Siam.

In all three species a form oceurs, which is marked by its fertile pinne being sporangiferous along the margins only, leaving a broad disk in the centre of the pinne free of sporangia. The first of these forms was named Nothochlaena undulata by Wallich, and

345 421

came probably from Burma; it is by Beddome referred as a variety to L. costatus; it is, however, possible, that it should rightly be referred to L. sealpturatus. It was figured by Beddome, F. Br. Ind. t. 115.

A similar form of what I name ZL. virens is called var. pseud- undulata Clarke, Ferns N. Ind. 581.

The third form is that which Dr. Schmidt has collected in Siam and which beyond doubt is the same species as I here name L. scalpturatus. In all characters, the marginal soriferation excepted, it closely agrees with specimens from Manila, leg. Gaudichaud.

19. Nephrolepis exaltata (L.) Schott, C. Chr. Ind. 454. N. acutifolia Christ, 1. c. 110, (no. 627 a).

Although sterile the specimen may with approximate certainty be referred to N. exaltata; certainly it is not N. acutifolia. Christ has also (1. c. 109) N. exultata in his list; no specimens so named by him are to be found in the collection.

Koh Chang, jungle near Lem Dan. Johs. Schmidt no. 776.

Closely allied to the Malayan A. persicifolium J. Sm., and perhaps not specifically different from that species; it differs by its nearly entire and longer pinne, its short sori and its very regular venation. The lateral veins are nearly always in groups of four: from a very short secondary vein or, more often, from the costa of the pinne itself, spring out two veins, of which the upper is always simple and soriferous, while the lower is forked 2—5 mm. above the costa; the lower fork of these is simple, while the anterior one is forked again once or twice.

Christ has referred the specimen to A. vulcanicum BI., which differs from our new species by its coriaceous texture, pale colour, and equally cuneate base of the pinne.

Although the specimen is sterile it doubtless belongs to this species, that is distinguished by a spiny rhizome and the pinne articulated to the rachis. The specimen differs from the typical form by having the pinne irregularly toothed. Some authors consider S. aculeata an anormal form of 8. sorbifolia sp. coll., others of S. palustris.

40. Adiantum fragiliforme n. sp.

A, Bonii ex parte Christ, 1. c. 106 (non Journ. de Bot. 8: 150).

Although I have not seen the original A. Bondi from Tonkin I am convinced, after a close comparison of the Koh Chang plant with Christ’s original description, that our plant can not be A. Bondi. It belongs to a group of which several species have been described in recent years, but as it differs from all these in some points I propose it as new.

Rhizomate breve, erecto, dense radicante. Stipitibus atro-castaneis, nitidis, strictis, ad 10 cm. longis. Lamina ambitu late ovata, 10—13 cm. longa et lata, tripinnata, glaberrima, rigida, infra paulo glaucescente. Pinnis primariis utrinque 3—4, 4—8 cm. distantibus, infimis maximis, longe petiolatis (petiolo 3—4 em. longo), 6—8 cm. longis. Pinnis secundariis in pinna infima 2-jugis, in pinna sequente unijugis; pinnis superioribus atque terminali simpliciter pinnata. Segmentis breve petiolulatis (petiolo 11/2 mm. longis), ad petiolum distincte articulatis et facile decedentibus, 5—8 mm. longis et latis, basi aequaliter cuneatis vel saepe utrinque rotun- datis, margine exteriore integro vel obsolete dentato indivisis vel plus minusve profunde bi- (raro tri-) lobatis, segmento terminali vix majore. Soris in segmento uno vel binis, rarissime ternis; margine segmenti sorifero paulo emarginato. Indusio atro-brunneo, subquadrangulari vel saepe semicirculari, 1—11+/2 mm. lato.

Koh Chang, Klong Son, 1000 ft., on rocks in the jungle (no. 677).

This species seems to differ from all species of Adiantum from tropical Asia by its distinctly articulated segments, which in the dried specimens are very apt to fall off as in the West Indian A. fragile Sw., a species with different sori. In general habit, branching and shape of segment our new species is very similar to A. Wattii Bak., which species Beddome (Suppl. 18) has referred to A. capillus veneris as a variety. If he is right in this our species is not A. Wattii. A. Bonti is described as having the stipe scarcely glossy, segments not articulated to the petiole, the terminal larger than the lateral ones, sori reniform and 3—5 to a segment. By these characters and in others A. Bonii is certainly widely different from A. fragiliforme.

41. Pteris longifolia L.; Christ, 1. c. 106 (no. 549 e).

Hieronymus has recently (Hedwigia 54: 290—294, 1914) separated out from the true P. longifolia L., which is American, the Old Worlds forms of P. longifolia as a distinct species P. vittata L., to which the Koh Chang specimens consequently belong.

Hieronymus has recently (Hedwigia 55: 325—375. 1915) elaborately dealt with the Asiatic forms of the cosmopolitic collective species P. qua- driavrita. He gives very long.and detailed descriptions of no fewer than 20 Asiatic species, the majority of them founded on a single or a couple of specimens. I have tried to determine the two forms collected in Koh Chang after the descriptions of Hieronymus. As could be expected, the specimens do not agree in all details with so detailed descriptions, and I cannot, therefore, with certainty determine the two forms.

The first of these is possibly P. Blumeana Ag.; Hieron., 1. ¢. 360, with which it agrees in its obtuse, subemarginate segments. It is a form with a whitish band along the midrib of the pinne, a peculiarity found in several of the species (no. 785).

The second form is probably identical with

Christ’s new species can hardly be other than a local form of

the variable G. linearis. The reduction of the lower segments of the

pinne, believed by Christ to be a characteristic feature of G. subpectinata,

is not rarely seen in G. linearis and is, moreover, not found in all pinne of the type-specimens.

66. Angiopteris evecta (Forst.) Hoffm. sp. coll.; Christ, ]. c. 112, (no. 767).

The form collected is abundantly different from the true A. evecta from Tahiti. It belongs to the section Pseudangiopteris Pr. to which de Vriese referred about 30 ‘species’, most of them from India. I have tried to determine the Siamese form after de Vriese’s monograph; it does not agree exactly with any of the forms described by de Vriese, but it comes very near to A. repandula de Vriese, Mon. 30 t. 3,f. 4, t. 4,f. 4, differing from that form by the presence of very short recurrent veinlets and fewer sporangia in the sori. The pinne are remarkably long-stalked (petiole 10 cm. 1. by a blade about 30 cm. 1.); pinnules 5—7 jugate

4296 350

below the terminal one, 12—-15 cm. long by 31/2 cm. broad at the middle, pale yellowish-green beneath, the margins dentate throughout, the abruptly acuminate apex serrulate, unequally cuneate at base, the upper (inner) side nearly parallel to rachis, the lower cuneate; some minute scales on the flattened midrib beneath. Veins simple ‘or more often once or twice furcate; short recurrent veins present. Sori well within the margin with 13—16 sporangia. By its long-stalked pimnee with few but proportionally very broad pinne of a yellowish-green culour it seems to deserve a name of its own; I propose to name it A. siamensis n. sp.

The material is not sufficient for a sure identification, ripe fruits being absent. The late Mr. Otto v. Seemen, of Berlin, to whom I had sent the material, remarked that in Q. Reinwardtii the young fruits are more narrowed towards the base than in No. 586. Besides, the leaves should be grey beneath, but they are glabrous, brownish and dim. According to Mr. v. Seemen, the young fruits and the leaves of No. 586 show some features calling to mind Q. costata B]., whose catkins are however much longer than those of No. 586. (O. Paulsen.)

The “Flora of Koh Chang”, publication of which was commenced in the year 1900 (with Part I), is now, with the present issue of Part X, brought to a close.

The first eight parts appeared in the course of a few years (1900—1904), after which, however, five years elapsed hefore the issue of Part [X, and a further period of years before the present concluding part was ready for print. This delay, due to circum- stances beyond my control, I very much regret.

Of the botanical collections brought home, all, save for a single group, have now been worked up. The exception is that of the perforating algz, the investigation of which, entrusted to the care of M. Maurice Gomont of Paris, was brought to a standstill upon his decease.

The following botanists have taken part in the work of dealing with the collections:

O. Beccari, Firenze. O. Nordstedt, Lund. F. Brotherus, Helsingfors. C. H. Ostenfeld, Copenhagen. H. Christ, Bale. Ove Paulsen, Copenhagen. Carl Christensen, Copenhagen. fF. Pax, Breslau.

+C. B. Clarke, Kew. V. A. Poulsen, Copenhagen. W.G. Craib, Kew. L. Radlkofer, Munich. U. Dammer, Berlin. F. Kélpin Ravn, Copenhagen. A. Engler, Berlin. Th. Reinbold, Itzehoe.

+M. Foslie, Trondhjem. +E. Rostrup, Copenhagen. E. Gilg, Berlin. R. Schlechter, Berlin.

+M. Gomont, Paris. +K. Schumann, Berlin. BE. Hackel, St. Pélten. O. Stapf, Kew. H. Hallier, Leiden. F. Stephani, Leipzig. H. Harms, Berlin. Edw. A. Wainio, Helsingfors. F. Heim, Paris. O.

It is now my pleasant duty to express my hearty thanks to each of the gentlemen above mentioned, for their obliging readiness in undertaking the work, as well as for the care with which they have carried it out.

The ten parts of which the ‘Flora of Koh Chang” consists, includes in all 1513 plants determined as to species, of which 194 were new to science. These species may be systematically divided as follows:

Phanerogams 521 of which 57 new; pteridophyta 72, of which 6 new; mosses (Bryales and Hepatice) 61, of which 23 new; algee 669, of which 38 new; lichens 95, of which 39 new, and fungi 95, of which 31 new. j

In addition, a number of species are noted under the different genera as not identified with certainty.

The material having been distributed among numerous special- ists, the work upon the different sections naturally could not progress at a uniform rate, in consequence of which it was impossible to let the various groups appear in systematic order, and again, I have not always succeeded in placing all the species belonging to one family in the same part of the publication. To the present Part X is therefore appended an index, drawn up by Carl Christensen, M. Sc., which will, it is hoped, in some degree obviate the difficulties thus arising.

Especial thanks are due to my friend Dr. C. H. Ostenfeld, Inspector of the University Botanical Museum at Copenhagen, for the valuable assistance which he has afforded me in the placing and treatment of the material.

Finally, I beg to thank the Danish Botanical Society for accord- ing space to the “Flora of Koh Chang” in their Journal, and also the Carlsberg Fund, who have, besides granting me financial support towards my stay in Siam 15 years ago, and during the subsequent treatment of the material, also borne the printing expenses.

Carlsberg Laboratory, Copenhagen, December 14, 1915. Johs. Schmidt.
