os locality for this species, on the authority of Dr. de 
riese. 
It is hard to say which of the above published names for 
this remarkable species should have the preference: three of 
n. 2. has the leaves of the ultimate or younger branches very 
much spreading, giving quite a different character to the 
plant. Dr. Hooker’s Z. filicaule is a pale coloured state, 
with shorter and flexuose branches.
