86. Cyathea kingii (Clarke) Copel. (Alsophila khtgii Clarke in Bedd. Hand-

Trunk 3 m high; main rachis purplish, shining, glabrous, rachises of 

 pinna? purplish, glabrous, and somewhat glaucous; pinna? 45 to 60 cm 

 long; pinnules about 7 cm long, 12 mm wide, coriaceous, of a bluish- 

 glaucous tint, the costa very scaly beneath and hairy above, pinnules cut 

 nearly to the costa into oblong, crenate segments; costules much raised 

 and very prominent (particularly in the fertile pinnules) and scaly; 

 veinlets once forked a little above the base, or more rarely simple; 

 receptacle very prominent, indusium wanting. Baker puts this species 

 near C. latebrom, and says .4. Bakeri Zeiller is probably a synonym.
