The name Be this genus would be much more appropriate by 
deriving it from its prickly spathes, the Greek word  Reyrgov 
meaning a prickle as well as a centre : for the glumes are uni- 
lateral in. several species, and ‚probably not truly centra il (as 
Monsieur Billardiere describes | them) in any : I use the term 
spathes in conformity to his description of Centrolepis fascicu- 
laris. j ; , RES r4
