THE LIVING CYCADS 



Botanical Garden and the Brooklyn Botanical Garden 

 secured specimens from this region. 



BOWENIA 



The western genera of cycads, except Microcycas, 

 are fairly well represented in the greenhouses of the 



Fig. 12. — Macrozamia Moorei: a poisoned specimen 



botanical gardens of both hemispheres; and the eastern 

 genera, except Bowenia, are similarly represented. 

 When I started on my trip there was not, as far as I 

 know, a single living specimen of Bowenia in America. 

 I did not see one in Africa and had not seen one in 

 Europe, although I had visited most of the large botani- 

 cal gardens.
