itself, we are not able to determine whether it belong to a 
species already discovered, or should be- considered as 
quite new. It differs from Biecuum anisifoliwm of Jussieu 
in having an upright, not a diffuse stem, and lax, leafy, 
not compact strobiliform spikes. 
The seed was transmitted from Sierra Leone to the Hor- 
ticultural Society by their collector, Mr. Gzorer Don, and 
our drawing was made at their garden in March last. 
Being a tropical production it must of course require to be 
preserved in the stove.
