Candex of medium height 1.5 to 2 m; 30 em in diameter; young fronds squamose under

very minute subsymmetrically code. ay le yas coe from the earpels, pericarp fibrous- 
grumose, 3 to 4 mm thick, endocarp osseous, 1 mm seeds globose, embryo subbasal. 
This species was discovered by seas, probably on Oahu. The above 
description is a translation of Beccari’s Latin description as published in Ma- 
lesia, and is based on the original material. He says, ‘* For the description of 
the floriferous spadix Hillebrand’s specimens served me, and as I have said, re- 
ferred Pr. Martii of Hillebrand to Pr. Gaudichaudii. The fruits which I at- 
tribute to Pr. Gaudichaudii and are here described were communicated to me 
from Kew, and were collected by Stephen Spencer in the year 1884 on the small 
island off Molokai (a small rock supposedly east off from the face of Waikolu 
cliff, Molokai, where also trees of Hillebrand’s second species grow, by him re- 
ferred to Pr. Martii).’’ 
He then describes in detail specimens in the various Herbaria, as fronds to 
be found in the Herbarium Webb at Florence, ete. Suffice it to say, the writer, 
according to Beceari, to whom all the palm material was submitted, has not as 
yet collected Pr. Gaudichaudii in a wild state, though specimens are cultivated 
in Honolulu.

borbicular, with 40 “segments connate not quite to the middle, coriaceous, interme diate

fruit-flesh about 4 mm thick; seeds ate testa dusky, shining, thicker in the 
part in which the embryo is imbedded; embryo subbasal, the small ark produced, conical, 
2 mm long. 
Gaudichaud has not indicated the precise location where he collected this 
species, but it is believed to have come from Oahu. Beceari says that he him- 
self has correctly referred to Pr. Martii the specimens often cited by Lydgate; 
this species can be found growing at Cape Niu. He continues, ‘‘ Pritchardia 
Martii is in all probability very close to Pr. Gaudichaudii, but can be distin- 
guished from the latter above all in the elliptical fruits and not globose ones,
