nearly allied to the Jf. spiralis, and from leaves alone often very difficult 
to distinguish from it. Itis s usually much taller, the trunk often attain- 
ing 10 to 19 ft., the leaves are usually more ri igid, the rhachis raised 
between the rows of inne as in M. spiralis, and 
are also frequently shorter with a more rigid acute poin their 
longitudinal veins are finer and less conspicuous. The cones are larger

into a lanceolate point of 2 to 3 in.—Zamia s spiralis, R. Br. Prod. 348
