No. XXXIV.— A BRANCHING PALMYRA PALM {BORASSUS 

 FLABELLIFER). 



The accompanying photograph (taken by Mr. E. L. Richardson of the 

 S. I. R.) is of a rather remarable Pahnyra pahn which is growing in the 

 neighbourhood of Tanjore. The tree at present has eight separate heads, 

 and must at one time have had several more, as the stumps can be 

 clearly seen.
