RIDLEY; notes that this produces a stem about 3 ft. high and 6 inches through; but NUR informs me that he found it always stemless and solitary. The situation of NUR'S collection was steep, exposed limestone rocks where the vegetation usually makes a poor growth. The basinym, L. 'rupicola, was based on two specimens, one collected at Gua Batu by RIDLEY and the other in the Langkawi Islands by CURTIS. As the two specimens represent two distinct species, and as the Gua Batu one appears to have been the principal basis of the description given by RIDLEY, I have typified the species on the last named specimen, making the other specimen the paratype of Liberbaileya lankawiensis. The leaf in RIDL'EY 8285 contains 2-4 costulate segments; and since this was unusual in the genus Livistona except in juvenile stages, BEGGARI employed the character to create the section LIVISTONELLA under' Livistona. But the many stages represented in NUR'S collection lead me to conclude that the degree of leaf division in RIDLEY 8285 represents that of young plants. There are no flowers in the lectotype preserved in Singapore, a reason why BEGGARI failed to discover the erroneous generic identity made of the specimen by RIDLEY. However NUR 34370 has supplied the important diagnostic characters lacking in RIDLEY 8285, for which reason NUR'S specimen has been called here the Apotype of the species (for the definitions of the nomenclature of types, see FURTADO in Card. Bull. Straits Settl. IX, 1937, pp. 285-309). (Gardens Bulletin, S.S. Vol. XI. (1941.)
