21. Same, natural size (same place and artist). 



22 & 23. Zamla Sklnnerl Warszew. and Z. Lindleyl Warszew. 

 The drawings of these, by Warszewicz, were sent by him to Yates, 

 who himself presented them to the Department of Botany: they 

 thus formed no part of the collection received from the Linnean 

 Society. The drawings are reproduced in Otto and Dietrich's 

 Allegemelne Gartenzeitiing for 1851 in connection with a paper 

 (p. 145) by Dietrich in which Warczewicz's name is attached to the 

 diagnoses/ The latter is doubtfully identified by Seemann (Bot. 

 Herald, 201) with the plant there described by him as Z. Chigua ; 

 should the two prove identical, Warszewicz's name (1851) will take 

 precedence of Seemann's (1854). Yates sent Seemann— who inci- 

 dentally pays a high tribute to the supreme knowledge of the order 

 which he shares with Brongniart, Miquel, and Lehmann— full 

 descriptions {op. clt. pp. 202, 253) of the two species, which Wars- 

 zewicz procured for him ; Z. Skinner I Yates grew at Highgate, but 

 Z. Llndleyi arrived as " a mere squash " and nothing could be done 

 with it. We have in the Herbarium a sketch by Yates and specimens 

 of a young plant grown by him at Highgate, with others sent to 

 him by Warczewicz : a note by Mr. Carruthevs indicates that he 

 considered Seemann's Sklnnerl differed specifically from that of 

 Warszewicz. . 



24. "Male cone of Ceratozamla mexicana produced in Mr. James 

 Yates's palm-house, Lauderdale House, Highgate, cut February 25th. 

 1859. Length 38 centimetres, circumference at the thickest part 

 25 centimetres, the scales in a single column from the top of the 

 cone to the bottom about 44 in number, the number of columns about 

 22, making the number of scales altogether more than 900." " P. 

 W. Justyne del. £2." Atlas folio [description in Justyne's hand ?]. 



25. " Leaf of Ceratozamla mexicana, half the natural size ; from 

 the plant which flowered at Chatsworth, 1848 (begun by Eliza 

 Bostock, finished by J. A. Bostock and Sophia Yates)."
