22-paribus, acutis, 1 cm latis, 4 ad costam lobatis, lobis 2 ad 3 
mm latis, obliquis, costis superne deorsum sparse et minute pilo- 
sis, inferne paleis fulvis parvis et paucis plerisque bullatis deci-

This is like the Alsophila Burbidgei of Hose and of Christ in having 
a dense fringe of brown scales on the stipe and lower part of the rachis 
and is perhaps identical with Hose’s plant, at least. Baker described as 
Cyathea Burbidgei-a plant without scales and the costae strongly ciliate 
beneath; the costae of C. elliptica are not in the least so. The pinnules 
are usually abruptly but not greatly dilated at the base.
