Palm House at Kew, and in the Museum at the same 

 place are specimens of the stem and fruit sent by- 

 Mr. Bates and myself from Para. 



Martius mentions the A. sclerocarpa only as being 

 found at Para, but his description of the other species 

 agrees best with the tree here figured. The two, how- 

 ever, seem very closely allied, if they are really distinct 

 species. 



A fruit is represented on the Plate of the natural 

 size.
