A most distinct species, allied to E. muda, Kunth, and E. elongata, Mast., but 
very shack larger than either 
2. Thamnochortus giganteus (Kunth). The discovery of 
plants makes it necessary to transfer this a Restio, in which, 
from its affinity to R. Rhodocoma, it will beeome 70a, Restio 
giganteus (N. E. Brown). To the description aid distribution are 
to be added :—Female inflorescence a narrow erect panicle, 14~22 in. 
long, 13 in. diam. ; branches ~~ 1-4 in. long, sparingly branched 
in their lower part; spikelets 2 in. long, close h 
lower on the branches and en divisions pedicellate, the rest 
S088 ssile, 1-flowered ; bracts imbricate, the inn st 12 lin. long,

dark brown; outer perianth-segments 21 lin. long, $ lin. broad, all 
alike, lanceolate, acute, concave, rounded (not keeled) on the back, 
glabrous, ehestnut- brown ; inner segments 2 lin. long, 11-14 lin,
