For this most interesting art I am indebted to my indefatigable friend 
Mr. Melliss, who informs me that the green stems, like pat of Bamboo, 
are brought to the market of St. Helena for sale, and are eaten raw under 
the name of Jellico. It was ig eek discovered bs Shes early in aa 
century, but does not exist in Bur 8 previous collections, and has u 
been gathered by any subsequent siete except Mr. Melliss, who has | 
to the Royal Gardens a cut specimen, living plants, seeds, and a bundle of 
the stems, as sold in the market. He informs me that it is abundant in 
ravines down each side of the central ridge fi Diana’s Peak, in rich damp 
soil amongst Tree-ferns and Cabbage-trees (arborescent Composi te). 
ium Helenianum is another instance of the curious fact, that herbaceous 
plants are often represented by frutescent or = areca allies in insular loca- 
lities, of which amongst Umébeliifere the plant figured in our next Plate is 
another instance, and the Melanoselinum and Monizia of Madeira (umbel- 
liferous plants, both now referred to 0 Thapsia) are others. Hedyotis arborea 
pine oe and the arborescent Composite of St. Helena, are other cases 
n point 
As a species, the present is closely allied to S. Thunbergii, DC., of South 
Africa, which has similarly acutely toothed and finely veined leaflets, ‘and shows
