178 HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. Corypha. 
Codda-pana. Rheed Mal, 3. t. 1-12. 
Talipat. Knox. hist. of Ceylon. 
Cing. Tala, or Talagas. 
Tam. Conda-pani. — 
This is an intermediate species, (with regard to size,) 
between Taliera and Elata. From Ceylon it has been 
introduced about nine years into the Botanic Garden at 
Calcutta. The seeds were fully as large as those of Ta- 
liera, consequently much larger than in Elata, This 
alone is a sufficient mark in a tree of this nature to dis 
tinguish it from lata; infortunately I did not exa- 
mine the situation of the embryo, we must therefore take — 
it for granted that Geertner was correct in placing it in the 
base of the seeds ; our young trees, are only now, when 
nine years old, beginning to exhibit the first appearance 
of a trunk. 
In the same Garden are plants of Taliera, of the same 
age ; their appearance at this period is so very different as 
to announce their being distinct species,

Leaves semicircular, palmate, pinnatifid, plaited + sege 
ments from twenty-five to thirty pair ; petioles very long, 
and much armed. 
Lontarus silvestris. Rumph. Amb. 1. 56 t. 11, 
A native of the Moluccas. One young tree of this 
species is in the Botanic garden at Calcutta; it was 
brought from Amboyna ; though now about twelve years 
old, it only begins to form the appearance of a trunk, 
which, at present promises to be longer than in wnbra- — 
culifera. The stipes or petioles are much longer than 
in any of the other species, and the leaves expand little 
more than half a circle, as in Rumph’s figure, and have 
only about half the number of segmeuts the others have.
