The specimens I have seen are in bud only, or with the flowers already fallen away, and the fruit is 

 unknown. The afl&nities of the species, remarkable for the imbricate bracts which give the young heads 

 the aspect of Mauritius fruits, remain therefore^uncertain ; and it may also prov6 that the specimens from 



F 



the two widely distant stations^ however closely they resemble each other in that state, may belong to 

 distinct Species.
