Zamia integrifolia is distinguished from media published 

 last month, not only by the wider and more obtuse leaflets, 

 serrulate at the apex, but also by the smoother footstalk, and 

 the acuminated spadix or flowering spike, which in media is 

 obtuse without the conical termination. We have not, 

 however, seen a sufficient number of specimens to determine, 

 if this distinction is to be depended upon or not. 



Communicated by Messrs. Loddiges and Sons, flowering 

 in August, which appears to be the usual time with us, 

 though Jacquin remarks, that different individuals flowered 

 at Vienna at such very different seasons, that it was impos- 

 sible to determine its proper period. 



Native of the West-Indies and of East-Florida. Requires 

 the heat of the stove.
