Kentia Beccarii, F. v. Mueller. (Nengella montana, Beccari.)

 Palm is only a few feet high and eligible, like Kentia minor, from 

 North-East Australia, for domestic decoration. 



Kentia Belmoriana, Moore and Mueller.

 With its congeners, evidently destined to grace our gardens and to 

 become also important for horticultural traffic abroad.

Umbrella Palm of Lord Howe's Island. Likewise a tall and hardy 

 Palm. 



Kentia Moluccana, Beccari. 



Ternate, at heights up to 3,500 feet. This noble and comparatively 

 hardy Palm attains a height of 90 feet. 



Kentia sapida, Blume. 



Tne Nika Palm of New Zealand and the Chatham Islands. It also 

 attains a height of 40 feet, is one of the hardiest of all Palms, and 

 extends to the most southern latitude attained by any Palm, being 

 found down to 44 south latitude. The unexpended flower-spikes 

 can be converted as palm-cabbage into food. 



Kochia villosa, Lindley. 



In most of the depressed and saline regions of Australia. 

 Renowned amongst occupiers of pasture land as the "Cotton 

 Bush," strangely so called, on account of downy adventitious 

 excrescenses. This rather dwarf shrub resists the extremes of 

 drought and heat of even the trying Central Australian clime.
