[Cycas Scratchleyana. — Leaves glabrous ; their segments chartaceous, 

 flat, rather broad, shining on both sides, hardly or not paler beneath, 

 slightly decurrent at the gradually narrowed base ; antheriferous scales 

 rather large , almost chartaceous , broadly cuneate , glabrous above, 

 tomentose beneath , truncate or but slightly convex in front , without 

 any acumen , not even distinctly apiculated , the antheriferous area 

 extending nearly to the summit , the narrow space above it more 

 tomentose and sometimes thickened there towards the middle.

This species of fern-pine, though well marked, can in its characteristics 

 here only as yet be defined veiy partially, mere fragments of leaves 

 and some detached staminate scales only being available for examina- 

 tion. In leaflets it comes much nearer to C. cüxinalis and C. Rumphii, 

 than to C. media and C. Papuana ; the leafletst attain about half an 

 inch in width, and are less rigid than those of most other congeners. 

 The male scales are I1/2 — 2 inches long , and near the summit about 

 one inch broad; all the specimens gathered ofthese scales are destitute 

 of dny pungent Prolongation, the usual acumen being perhaps replaced 

 by the short repressed but not free turgescence underneath. This 

 characteristic of the androphylls is quite unique in the genus. 



It is with particular pleasure, that I dedicate this new form of a 

 very stately class of plants to the distinguished first ruler of British 

 New Guinea, his Excellency General Scratchley. 



Mr. A r m i t 's sendings contain also the following plants as hitherto 

 unrecorded from New Guinea: —
