Calospaiha SGortechinii Becc. ins.
The description givea by Ridley (I.e.) of this Palm, exactly agrees with a
fruiting spadix, existing ia my herbarium, and collected by Scortechini in the
district of Perak. Of this specimen a drawing was sent by me to Kew, under the
name of Calospatha ScortecMmi, together with my manusciipt notes for the "Flora
of British India", wherein, however, this Palm was not included.
Mr, Ridley gives also the description of the leaves of his Daetnonorops calospatha,
but there is not the required evidence that theso are really those of the fruiting
. which he describes.
Calospatha Scoriechinii ia a very curious and distinct Palm, more related to
Plectoiomia than to Daemonorops, distinguishable from the first especially by its very
short spadix, and from the second by the distichous, very peculiar, primary spathea
aud by the fruit containing 3 seeds.
I hope to be able to give later a figure and a detailed description of Calospatha,
Avhen working on the other genera of the Asiatic Lepidoaanjeae.

This species must be elitninated, as it was founded by me upon a spadix of
D. cristatua and a portion of a leaf of Calamus ferruqinem, which were together on
the same sheet in the Calcutta Hei-barium. See observations to Daemonorops cnsiaUi.

I now consider this as a species of Calamus [C. erinaceus Becc.).
