22 COLONEL MUNRO'S MONOGRAPH OF THE BAMBUSACE^E. 



The thickened cartilaginous margin of the leaves distinguishes this from all the species 

 previously described. In this respect some of the species, of which the leaves only are 

 known, approach it, and especially one which I have described as A. densifolia, and which, 

 being, as it is, a native of Ceylon, may possibly be a peculiar state of this plant — although 

 it appears to me to be well distinguished by its remarkably narrow small leaves, in which 

 1 1 1 c tessellation is sometimes very indistinct.
