A. : 
Facus Sotanpri, Hook. fil. 
(v. Tab. 639.) 
The present figure (A), as well as the following (B), is given 
for the sake of representing the fruit, which was unknown to us 
when we gave our representation of the male plant at Tab. 639 
of this work. Mr. Colenso has sent us fruiting specimens from 
the banks of the Makaroro, Port Nicholson, &. The cupule 
consists of from seven to nine ovate, acute, unequal, downy scales, 
united by their bases, which enclose two or three triquetrous, 
downy nuts, the angles wing

B. 
Facus ciirrortiomes, Hook. fil. 
(v. Tab. 673.) 
The fruit of this, also sent by Mr. Colenso, differs but little 
from that of F. Solandri; it is more oblong, and the scales -are 
more acute. The nuts are rather irregularly ovate than cordate, 
triquetrous, less winged. .
