<div type="discussion"><p>Within Heterospathe, this species is most unusual. For one, as the epithet suggests, the inflorescence bears three bracts-a prophyll and two peduncular bracts-rather than a prophyll and a single peduncular bract which is typical in the genus. Secondly, the inflorescences are infrafoliar (as in H. scitula) not only at anthesis but even while still completely enclosed in the bracts. However, despite the unusual features, details of the leaflet, flower, fruit, and seed indicate affinity with Heterospathe. H. trispatha may, thus, be considered as an aberrant member of the genus.</p></div>

<div type="acknowledgements"><p>This paper was initiated at the Herbarium, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, while on a research scholarship grant sponsored by the International Development Research Centre, Canada (IDRC). I am most grateful to Dr John Dransfield for assistance with the Latin diagnoses and for his useful comments and much encouragement. I should like to thank the Keepers of the following herbaria for access to their palm collections and for facilities: Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (K), Botanical Museum, Florence (FI), British Museum (Natural History), London (BM), Bailey Hortorium, Ithaca (BH), and the Philippine National Herbarium, Manila (PNH). F.B. Samiano and E. A. Lapitan prepared the figures. Field work was supported, in part, by a University of the Philippines at Los Bafios Basic Research Program Grant No. 85-4.</p></div>
