THE LIVING CYCADS 



Botanical Garden and the Brookh-n Botanical Garden 

 secured specimens from this region 



BOWENIA 



The western genera of cycads, except Microcycas, 

 are fairly well represented in the greenhouses of the 



Fic. 1 2. — Macrozamia Moorei: a poisoned specimen 



botanical gardens of both hemispheres; and the eastern 

 genera, except Boivenia, are similarly rei)resente(i. 

 When I started on my trij) there was not, as far as I 

 know, a singk- living specimen of Boiccnia in America. 

 I (lid not see one in Africa and had not seen one in 

 Kuroi)e, although I bad visited most of the large l)()tani- 

 cal gardens.
