59. T, ancpps, Hook, (not Wall. Cat.) ; tufted tall aTni)lc 

 erect, fronds broadly ovate pinnate, pinnie distant bi-tri])in- 

 natilid the ultimate segments linear sometimes exceedingly 

 narrow acute simple or bifid, main rachis very broad com- 

 pressed marginato-anei])itate, involucres supra-axillary free 

 cylindrical tapering below, the mouth entire much sjtreading 

 not 2-lip)ied, sti])es com])ressed and flattened marginato-anci- 

 pitate above, often subterete or tetragonal (when dry) below.

 East Indies, Wallich,n. 1()3 ? — j3. Philippine Islands, Cuming, n. 1()2 and 

 274. — It is possible that this may be a state of T. ric/idum, but gigantic, 1 ^ 

 foot to 2 feet high, with a very altered aspect, and in itself highly variable: 

 some smaller specimens are apparently intermediate, while the usual form 

 of our plant is very peculiar. Stipes — 8 inches, subterete or 4-angular 

 below, above remarkably compressed and more or less winged. Frond with 

 a few minute, scattered, a])i)ressed hairs, 1 — li foot high, harsh, rigid, 

 black, and opaque. Eacliis very broad, flattened and margined, ancipi- 

 tate. Pinnffi remote, opposite or alternate, often 5 — 6 inches long, the di- 

 visions remote, ultimate segments subspinulose or setaceous, more or less 

 elongated. — In ^. the segments are almost setaceous, the margin of the ra- 

 chis and the involucres narrower, the whole with rather copious, appressed, 

 scaly hairs ; and sometimes the involucres have no spreading mouth, but 

 are erose as if injured by disease, as the entire plant probably is. 



60. T. fivnicKlaceuni, I3ory ; tufted (but from a creeping 

 stout caudex) erect, fronds ovato-lanceolatc rigid ])innated 

 brown, pinna; nearly horizontal approximate deeply tripin- 

 natifid, the segments very narrow linear- setaceous scarcely 

 broader than the vein or costa acute, rachis of the pinnae 

 compressed ancipitate, main rachis terete with a very narrow 

 sharp edge or margin, stipes terete sometimes obscurely mar- 

 gined, above clothed (as is the rachis) more or less with de- 

 ciduous brown seta3, involucres sui)ra-axillary short cylindri- 

 cal tapering below free, the mouth entire not ^-lipped nor 

 spreading. Bory, in J Fil Id. Sp. PI. x. p. 51 L T. meifoUum,

 of 7'rivkoinancs, are not easily expressed in words. I derive my aiuliority
